An Evening with Brad Gushue

We are thrilled to welcome Olympic Gold medallist Brad Gushue to Halifax for the launch of his new book Gushue: The Making of A Champion.

Over the course of his remarkable career, Brad Gushue set a new standard of curling excellence. Born in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Gushue quickly rose through the sports ranks; his incredible promise became evident when he won the 2001 World Junior Curling Championship and reached a defining moment in the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy, when he led Team Canada to a gold medal. For over a quarter of a century, Brad Gushue has competed at the highest level, skipping his team to a record-setting six Briers and representing Canada at numerous international tournaments.

In this very personal and honest memoir, Brad Gushue, along with award-winning journalist Stephen Brunt, reflects on his remarkable life and career. From the geographical challenges of competing on the mainland and the international stage, to having to make difficult decisions in fine-tuning his team roster, to sharing thoughts on his final competitive season and the difficult decision to step away from the sport he loves, the book offers readers rare insights into Gushue's journey to the top of Canadian sports.

Brad will be in conversation with bestselling author and journalist John DeMont, with a book signing to follow. Books will be available for purchase from Bookmark.
