KELOWNA, B.C. — Defending champion Brad Gushue opened the Montana’s Brier with a 9-2 victory over Newfoundland and Labrador’s Ty Dilello on Friday night.

Gushue opened with a deuce and never trailed in the eight-end win at Prospera Place.

The St. John’s, N.L.-based skip is looking to win the Canadian men’s curling championship for a record fourth time in a row and seventh time overall.

Dilello is making his Brier debut. His team plays out of the same St. John’s club as Gushue’s rink.
