Canada remains perfect in Denmark

Canada remains perfect at the 2026 World Junior Curling Championships in Taarnby, Denmark with another three-win day. 

On the second day of competition, Team Calan MacIsaac of Truro, N.S. and Team Myla Plett of Edmonton won three games collectively and pushed Canada to the top of the table standings. 

“We had another super close game this morning, battling it out with the Danes,” said Owain Fisher, who throws second rocks for MacIsaac’s Team Canada. “We managed the scoreboard very well and stayed patient.” 

The win over Team Denmark, secured by a last-rock draw by MacIsaac, was only the first step in their two-win day, which also included a 9-3 win over Team Norway. 

The Canadians—MacIsaac, third Nathan Gray, Fisher, lead Christopher McCurdy, and alternate Nicholas Mosher—will play Team Poland Thursday afternoon. 

On the women’s side, skip Myla Plett had to make her last shot as well, needing a full eight-foot draw to win an extra-end affair against Team South Korea. 

Plett, third Alyssa Nedohin, second Chloe Fediuk, lead Allie Iskiw, and alternate Abby Whitbread, secured their third win and will ride that momentum into a two-game day on Thursday against Team China in the morning and Team Denmark in the evening. 

“Going into the game we knew that Korea was going to be a significant competitor, and we were going to have to bring our A game,” said Fediuk. “We really focused on team communication and making the most out of each shot. We truly value the experience of playing in an extra end, and we are excited to continue this momentum into the next couple days!” 

With the extra-end win, the women—like the men—improve to 3-0. The nine-game round robin will continue until the top four teams in each discipline are decided and move on to the semifinals. 

The women are supported by coach Dave Nedohin, assistant coach Blair Lenton, and team leader Beth Iskiw. 

The men are coached by Craig Burgess and team leader Daryell Nowlan.
