Sunday before a thoroughly packed house in Sudbury, Jennifer Jones and Brent Laing capped a masterful performance at the 2023 Canadian mixed doubles curling championship to add yet another national gold medal, and their first as teammates.
Manitoba skip Jennifer Jones watches her shot while playing Team Canada during the final at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts, in Kamloops, B.C., on Sunday, February 26, 2023. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Darryl DyckJennifer Jones didn't talk about her clutch deuce, the $40,000 winner's cheque or a trip next month to the world mixed curling doubles championship in Gangneung, South Korea.
"We are getting towards the tail end of our careers, so it's going to be a special memory that we'll cherish forever, to be Team Canada together, to share these moments together," said Jones, a six-time Scotties Tournament of Hearts winner to go along her two world championships, her 2014 Olympic gold medal and a Canadian junior championship. "Even winning this felt great.
It was a nail-biter to the end, with the teams tied 4-4 heading into the eighth and Jones-Laing holding the hammer. After Peterman half-buried her final shot behind a corner guard, Jones was able to play a hack-weight tap to remove the shot rock and score five for the win, and celebrated as the cheers of the crowd rained down on them.
"It was disappointing to give up the steal because I missed my first shot that end and it got us in a bit of trouble," said Jones. "But we said before the fifth end whoever gets the first deuce is likely going to win, and we managed to get the first deuce.
