马尼托巴队的马特·邓斯通于2026年3月8日在纽芬兰和拉布拉多省圣约翰斯市的蒂姆霍顿斯布里尔赛半决赛中，以7-3击败加拿大队的布拉德·雅各布斯。此胜雪洗了2025年布里尔赛决赛和奥运选拔赛的失利，邓斯通将对阵保持不败的凯文·科争夺冠军。胜者将代表加拿大参加在犹他州奥格登的世界男子冰壶锦标赛。
在圣约翰斯玛丽·布朗中心的半决赛中，马尼托巴队的马特·邓斯通、科尔顿·洛特、E.J.·哈南登和瑞安·哈南登击败了雅各布斯队的马克·肯尼迪、布雷特·加兰特和本·赫伯特。雅各布斯队刚刚在2026年2月22日意大利科尔蒂纳赢得奥运金牌，进入比赛时克服了时差、疲劳和疾病，包括雅各布斯的鼻窦感染以及赫伯特缺席首场比赛。
X用户和冰壶记者称赞邓斯通-雅各布斯布里尔赛半决赛中高质量的投壶表现，邓斯通7-3（或报道为6-3）的胜利被视为对先前失利的复仇。对邓斯通第三次争夺冠军、对阵不败科的比赛充满期待，并有疑问是否终于轮到邓斯通。情绪主要对邓斯通正面，对比赛持中立。

Dunstone vs. Koe Part 3 for the title. Will the third time be the charm for Dunstone or will Koe complete an undefeated run? #Brier2026 #curling
Dunstone wins 6-3. Lott deft touch on draw with first to pressure. Kennedy not sharp on either throw. Dunstone’s first nice draw, pushes Jacobs into high difficulty runback double attempt, which he makde, but MAN still shot. Dunstone hit+roll to sit two. Jacobs light with last.

First notable mistake to Jacobs. Had a chance to blank, but caught too much of Dunstone’s rock, stuffed and hung around. Credit to Dunstone for putting pressure on Jacobs. The force gives Kamloops skip hammer in sixth, with Brier semifinal tied at 2-2.

Lott gets away with a draw that was a tad heavy with his first. Kennedy makes a more costly mistake. Dunstone draws for two, game’s first deuce, to take 4-3 lead. Jacobs with hammer in nine. Brier semifinal.
