History
Victoria hosted the 2016 Elite 10 with Brad Gushue of St. John’s, N.L., edging Winnipeg’s Reid Carruthers for the title in an extra-end shootout. Rachel Homan’s Ottawa-based team made history becoming the first women’s team to compete in a Pinty’s Grand Slam of Curling men’s tournament and score a victory over a men’s team since Sportsnet acquired the series in 2012.
The Princess Auto Elite 10 travelled from the west coast to Atlantic Canada in 2017 heading to Port Hawkesbury, N.S. John Morris earned his 11th title in the series with fourth Jim Cotter delivering the winning slash takeout in the final end to defeat Brad Jacobs 1-up. GSOC legends Jeff Stoughton, David Nedohin, Nolan Thiessen and Jamie Korab came out of retirement for one tournament only as the special Elite 10 Selects. The team still had it as they qualified for the playoffs.
