After a shortened campaign in the Calgary bubble earlier this year, the 2021-22 GSOC season kicks off Tuesday, marking the first major tournament to allow fans in the stands since the pandemic began. Here’s what you need to know. (JonathanBrazeau)
Bruce Mouat and his Scottish squad are the kings of the castle after sweeping through both GSOC events — the Champions Cup and Princess Auto Players’ Championship — last season. Team Mouat picked up where they left off winning a tour event in Oakville, oddly enough, to begin their 2021-22 campaign. It’s their spot to lose.
Kevin Koe and his Calgary club jumped out of the gate winning twice on tour and have earned the most points so far this fall, although they stumbled a bit and missed the playoffs this past weekend in Penticton, B.C. Five-time world champion Niklas Edin and his Swedish squad had been a bit quiet this season but came out swinging to win the Penticton event and appear all fired up now.
Ottawa’s Rachel Homan captured her record-extending 11th GSOC women’s title at the Champions Cup and finished runner-up to Kerri Einarson of Gimli, Man., in the Princess Auto Players’ Championship. Sweden’s Anna Hasselborg skips the No. 1 ranked women’s team in the world — like Team Jacobs, thanks to three consecutive GSOC title wins in 2019-20. Haselborg went 0-4 through the Champions Cup but returned to form with a semifinal finish in the Princess Auto Players’ Championship. Nobody predicted a winless run from Team Hasselborg and it was likely just a blip as they hadn’t played in over a year due to the pandemic.
