Curling Canada has revealed its list of teams eligible to compete to represent Canada at the 2026 Olympics. Four Saskatchewan teams have earned enough points to be on the list.

On the men’s side, Saskatoon’s Team Mike McEwen earned a direct berth into the Olympic Trials in Nova Scotia. Joining him there will be fellow Saskatoon Skip Rylan Kleiter and his foursome.

Brad Gushue, Brad Jacobs, Kevin Koe, Matt Dunstone, and John Epping round out the men's teams that have qualified for the trials. One spot remains in the event, which will be claimed through a pre-trial event in October.

For the women, Saskatoon’s Nancy Martin and fellow Bridge City skip Ashley Thevenot have earned their way into the pre-trials event in October. They will compete against six other teams vying for the last spot in the Olympic Trials.

The women's teams that have already qualified for the trials are Rachel Homan, Kerri Einarson, Kayla Skrlik, Kaitlyn Lawes, Kate Cameron, Christina Black, and Corryn Brown.

The Canadian Olympic Curling Trials will run from November 22-30 in Halifax.
