Pool play is complete and it's time for the top teams remaining to vie for glory at the 2026 Brier.
The co-favourites entering the playoffs dueled in the final game in Pool A, with Brad Gushue's Newfoundland and Labrador team thrilling the home crowd with a narrow win over Brad Jacobs' Team Canada.
Gushue took the Brier crown six times in eight years before placing third last year as Jacobs' Alberta team hoisted the trophy. While the prospect of a Gushue-Jacobs showdown to close the festivities is tantalizing, we aren't there yet.
The Alberta team this year, led by Kevin Koe, went unbeaten in Pool B. Manitoba's Matt Dunstone fell in the final for the second time in three years last time around and won't be an easy out in 2026, either.
Here's everything you need to know to track the knockout rounds from St. John's.
