A team that not only Saskatchewan should get familiar with, but the rest of the curling world." Dunstone, also 3-1 entering the playoffs, won 7-3 over Shaun Meachem in the semifinal. Meachem of Saskatoon, was joined by Brady Scharback at third, Brayden Stewart and Jared Latos on the front-end win 2-2 in the qualifying round.

"We had complete confidence in the ice and the rocks. Lucky enough to play on such great ice at the Highland."
