WINNIPEG (March 18, 2018) Wrapping up four days of world-class competition at St. James Civic Centre, hometown hero Team McEwen (Winnipeg) has captured the Princess Auto Elite 10 title.
Claiming its first Grand Slam title of the season over Team Gushue (St.John’s, NL) Sunday morning, Team McEwen collects $28,000 of the $100,000 purse and qualifies for the Humpty’s Champions Cup, the final Grand Slam event of the season.
“It was the perfect weekend to do it – at home and a little luck of the Irish,” said skip Mike McEwen. “We played so well from start to finish and just fell in love with this format. A lot of really good ideas were implemented in this Grand Slam. It’s exciting to be part of that.
