Canadian Mixed Curling Championship
- Canadian Mixed Curling Championship
The Canadian Mixed Curling Championship is the national curling championship for mixed curling in Canada. It is considered as the highest level of mixed curling in the world, with the absence of a World Championships. However, a
European Mixed Curling Championship also exists. In mixed curling, the positions on a team must alternate between men and women. If a man throws last rocks, which is usually the case, a woman must throw the lead rocks and the third positions rocks, while the other male member of the team throws the second's rocks. Only once has a woman ever thrown last rocks (skipped) and won a championship, and that was Shannon Kleibrink in 2004.
Starting with the 2008 Championships (held in November 2007), the Canadian Curling Association will pick two curlers from the winning team to represent Canada at the inaugural 2008 World Mixed Doubles Curling Championship.
