Brad Gushue is closing his legendary curling career at the 2025 Brier in his hometown of St. John's, Newfoundland. Despite his record of 190 wins, the 23-time champion admitted he was nervous before the opening faceoff.
The sold-out crowd responded immediately with a standing ovation and loud cheers. Their energy shifted during the seventh end when Gushue capitalized on a Quebec miss to score a four-ender, igniting a massive roar from the home fans.
