UPDATE: Team Lepine takes silver.
91原创 curler Craig Lepine is going for the gold this afternoon.
The skip and the rest of Team BC men鈥檚 team is guaranteed a medal after securing a chance to play for gold at the 2018 Coastland Engineering and Surveying Canadian Masters Curling Championship today in Cloverdale.
The 26-team competition wraps up with the men going for gold at 2 p.m. today (Sunday) at the Cloverdale Curling Club.
Lepine is accompanied on the ice by third Neil Houston, second Craig McLeod, lead Kevin Jeannotte, and coach Karen Lepine (Craig鈥檚 wife). Lepines curl out of the 91原创 Curling Centre.
The tournament featured 14 men鈥檚 and 12 women鈥檚 60-plus curling teams from across Canada.
The competition began last weekend, and wraps up today with the bronze-medal games held at the Peace Arch Curling Club this morning, and ending with the gold-medal games in Cloverdale.
Lepine returned home from Stratford, Ont. and the Everest Canadian Senior Curling Championships just two days ahead of the master. He did not return home with any medals, although his wife鈥檚 team came in just shy of bronze.
While Team BC didn鈥檛 have much time to rest before the rink suited up for the masters, they have played strong with eight wins and two losses heading into the title match.
The local men鈥檚 team earned the chance to advance to the gold medal matchup after defeating another BC team yesterday. They beat Kelowa鈥檚 Team Koffski by 7-2.
