Team Canada has a perfect record of three wins and zero losses at the 2025 World Men’s Curling Championships in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. On Sunday, Canada defeated South Korea by a score of 9-3.
It was an excellent start for the Canadian team as they scored three points with the hammer in the first end. Team Canada third Marc Kennedy made two hit and roll shots and helped set up a Brad Jacobs draw to the four foot for a commanding lead. Canada then had multiple two-point ends in the third, fifth and eighth ends to win by six points.
A major story in the game was the fact that Ben Hebert of Chestermere, Alberta was perfect. He made all 16 of his shots for a shooting percentage of 100%. The game was over after eight ends.
There are three teams tied for first place at three wins and zero losses. The other two teams are Scotland and China. Scotland’s Bruce Mouat will be Canada’s opponent on Monday afternoon.
