Brad Gushue of Newfoundland and Labrador edged Nova Scotia’s Kendal Thompson 9-8 in an extra end on Tuesday at the 2026 Montana’s Brier in St. John’s, maintaining his undefeated 5-0 record. The hometown favourite admitted his team was not sharp, crediting luck for the win after a missed shot by Thompson in the ninth end. Meanwhile, Brad Jacobs and Kevin Koe also secured victories to join Gushue at the top of their pools.
