Brad Gushue's Final Brier: Hometown Crowd Erupts

Brad Gushue’s final Brier began in St. John's with a nervous skip and a sold-out crowd ready to celebrate his hometown return.

Despite his record-breaking experience, Gushue admitted feeling nervous before taking the ice. The crowd gave him a long standing ovation during introductions.

The atmosphere shifted in the seventh end when Gushue scored a four-ender, causing the crowd to erupt following a miss by Quebec's Felix Asselin.
