Saskatchewan’s Eugene Hritzuk knocked off two-time Brier champion Russ Howard 7-5 Sunday in the final of the Canadian senior men’s curling championships in Prince Albert, Sask.
Hritzuk, along with third Kevin Kalthoff, second Verne Anderson and lead Dave Folk from the Saskatoon Nutana Curling Club, built a 4-2 lead through four ends on the strength of three stolen points. Howard managed to tie the score two ends later, but a deuce by Saskatchewan in the seventh end proved to be the difference.
