New Gushue book, which names names and shares new stories, ruffles some feathers
Gushue says the dispute over Brier eligibility led to legal action and a cutline scramble for the third wild-card spot, with $300,000 at stake.
- In his new book, The Making, retired curler Brad Gushue details a 2022 dispute where his team's inclusion in The Brier displaced Team John Epping, sharing previously undisclosed stories about the conflict.
- Curling Canada deemed Gushue's team Brier-eligible despite Olympic commitments, leaving Epping's squad outside the cutline for the $300,000 purse that year.
- Gushue claims an email from Epping's third, Ryan Fry, revealed the team sought a financial settlement to drop their lawsuit, which Fry confirmed as a standard legal process.
- Before competition began, an arbitrator dismissed the suit, and while Gushue and Brent Laing now work as analysts, their long-standing professional relationship remains unaffected.
- Published on Nov 5, the book has drawn reaction for naming names, though Gushue stated he does not need to comment further on the past legal conflict.
