The 2026 Canadian Mixed Curling Championship got underway Sunday, with Team Saskatchewan splitting its opening two games.
Skip Tyler Hartung and his Regina rink, featuring Christie Gamble, Jayden Shwaga and Stasia Wisniewski, opened with a 6-4 loss to Quebec's Felix Asselin.
Saskatchewan held a 3-1 lead after four ends, thanks to a three-point fourth end, but Quebec battled back with a pair before stealing one and two points in consecutive ends to take control.
Hartung and his crew responded in their second game, picking up a 7-4 victory over Alberta's Andrew Hodgson.
Saskatchewan built a 5-1 advantage through four ends before Alberta chipped away with three consecutive singles to pull within one. Hartung's rink put the game away with two points in the eighth end to secure the win and finish opening day at 1-and-1.
Team Saskatchewan returns to the ice Monday at noon Saskatchewan time, taking on Newfoundland and Labrador.
