Team Canada has guaranteed itself a spot in the playoffs this weekend at the BKT World Men’s Curling Championship at Temple Gardens Centre.

Canada put together a dominant performance against Switzerland in the evening draw on Thursday, coming away with a 10-4 victory.

As a team, they curled an unheard-of 97 per cent, while skip Brad Jacobs curled 98 per cent and second Brett Gallant curled 100 per cent.

Scotland picked up a 8-6 win over the United States in the Thursday afternoon draw at the BKT World Men's Curling Championship at Temple Gardens Centre.

The win moves Scotland at 7-3 to keep them in the playoff hunt as they currently sit in third place. The United States drops to 4-5 and will now have a difficult time making to the weekend.

The United States kept the game close until Scotland scored three in the eighth end with the hammer.

It was a provincial championship over 20 years in the making.

The Cabri Bulldogs brought home the Hockey Saskatchewan U15 C Provincial Championship last weekend.

"The last one hanging up there is from 2003-04," said Bulldogs Head Coach Wade Petersen. "It's been a lot of years since a provincial banner went up in Cabri. They're not easy to get, and that was our message to the kids. This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance. Some of you might not ever have a bigger game."

Petersen was impressed by their effort despite being a very young team.

The Team Jigger Foundation Sledge Hockey Program received a donation of 10 brand new sets of sledge hockey equipment courtesy of the National Hockey League Players' Association (NHLPA) Goals & Dreams.  

The donation of sleds, sticks, and protective equipment will go towards helping many kids get involved in the game, now and in the future.
