OTTAWA – Steve Laycock of Saskatchewan kept himself in the thick of the chase Sunday afternoon with a vital 8-4 win over Jim Cotter of B.C. at the Tim Hortons Brier.

It’s hardly breaking news that the 2016 Tim Hortons Brier features the most talented array of teams in the rich history of the Canadian men’s curling championship.
Playing in the far north, big-game pressure situations are few and far between.
Which is what made Friday morning’s 2016 Tim Hortons Brier pre-qualifying round victory so satisfying for veteran Northwest Territories skip Jamie Koe.
