Paul Scinocca and his Manitoba team have won Manitoba a second consecutive Gold Medal at the Canada 55+ Games. Two other Manitoba teams qualified for bronze medal games but both fell short.

Scinocca, Norma Purdy, Paul Armstrong and Marla Boyd had a 3W-0L record in pool play and advanced direct to the gold medal game today in Quebec City. British Columbia won the other pool with an identical perfect record. Team Manitoba won the gold medal with a 7-5 victory.

At the previous 55+ Games, Ray Baker’s Dauphin team won a gold medal in the men’s competition.

At this year’s event, Bill Mamchuk and his team (3rd – Larry Schroeder, 2nd – Dan Beaudoin, Lead – Stu Marshall, 5th – Fred Spiring) in the 65+ Men’s Division posted a 2W-2L record to advance to the bronze medal game but were defeated in their medal game by Alberta.

Two Women’s teams represented Manitoba.

Patti Ulrich (3rd – Brenda Michel, 2nd – Tammy Selman, Lead – Jill Proctor) finished round robin play with a 2W-2L record, tied for fourth in the standings with Nova Scotia. As NS had beaten them in pool play, the Maritimers advanced to the Bronze medal game.

Bev Atkins (3rd – Kathy Issac, 2nd – Lynn Sandercock, Lead – Anne Mushamanski) qualified for the bronze game in their division with a 2W-1L record. They were assigned third place in the standings and the bronze game berth based on draw-to-the button tally. They lost the medal game to BC in an extra end.

At this year’s event in Quebec City, it was announced that Winnipeg will be the host city for the Canada Senior 55+ Games in 2026.
