Team Smith to play PointsBet Invitational after winning fan vote

The always entertaining Greg Smith and his team from Newfoundland and Labrador are heading to next month's PointsBet Invitational after beating out three other teams to win the Fan Vote. 

Team Smith received 43 per cent of the vote, edging New Brunswick's Team James Grattan at 37 per cent, Nova Scotia's Team Paul Flemming at 10 per cent and Saskatchewan's Team Dallan Muyres at 10 per cent. The voting took place via a pole on Curling Canada's official Twitter account.

Smith is joined by a new foursome, including Adam Boland at third, Chris Ford at second and Zach Young at lead. 

The 26-year-old native of St. John's has earned a strong fanbase over recent years with two appearances at the Tim Hortons Brier in 2018 and 2021, highlighted by a legendary "around the horn" pistol inside the Calgary bubble. 

"Who cares, we're down 7-1." Greg Smith of Newfoundland and Labrador makes an unreal shot.
