Typhoon Curling Club punches ticket to inaugural Rock League championship

Watch Alpine Curling Club take on Shield Curling Club with a berth in Sunday's Rock League championship game at 4 p.m. ET on the line.

One half of the first-ever Rock League final is set.

Typhoon Curling Club beat Northern United in a dramatic first semifinal at Toronto’s Mattamy Athletic Centre on Sunday.

“It was exciting. There were so many good shots and so many close games,” Typhoon’s Nik Edin said.

Indeed, all three games were tight throughout, and each entered the final end within two points and up for grabs for either side.

In the men’s game, Northern’s Bruce Mouat nailed a sixth-end runback takeout for a blank to head into the seventh end down 4-3 with hammer — and he needed it. Facing a steal of two with both rocks locked on the back of the button, the Scot threw a perfectly executed angled runback to force a draw-to-the-button tiebreaker.

However, Edin covered the pin on his draw and Northern’s Robin Brydone was heavy on his.

“I said out of my hand it’s all there, so I just hoped we would do nothing and it would probably be decent. Just a light clean at the end and right on the button, so that felt good,” Edin said.

Mouat, meanwhile, seemed to bring his A-game throughout the contest, but ceded the tiebreaker shot to Brydone, who had already thrown multiple draws along that path.

“There was a lot of really good shots from both teams, and pretty exciting to making big shots like that in the first-ever Rock League. So pretty proud of ourselves and we’re not too dejected after losing that one,” Mouat said.

Simultaneously, Typhoon’s Tori Koana secured three with her final stone
