Here's Brier 2025 scores, standings, schedule, TV channel to watch men's curling tournament

There was a time when a Canadian men’s curling championship always seemed just out of Brad Gushue’s reach.

Now the veteran skip is simply the man to beat at the Montana’s Brier.

His St. John’s, N.L.-based team is the three-time defending champion at the 10-day competition that starts Friday night at Prospera Place.

“I had to learn on the national stage,” Gushue said Thursday. “I think playing out of Newfoundland has its benefits but also has its downside. The benefit is I had the chance to go to the Brier a lot more than most people.
