This particular Tankard comes less than a week after Gushue, Mark Nichols, Brett Gallant and Geoff Walker won the Swiss Cup Basel in Basel, Switzerland.
The Toronto Tankard is a 24-team, $48,000 event at the old High Park Club in Toronto’s Sunnyside district.
The Gushue team, with Mark Nichols skipping as Gushue sat home nursing a sore hip/groin, won the Toronto Tankard last year.
