Apr 10, 2026 | 5:05 PM

TORONTO — Typhoon Curling Club got back to its winning ways Friday with a 2-1 victory over Alpine Curling Club in Rock League curling action.

Alpine got off to a strong start when Alina Paetz defeated Anna Hasselborg 7-3 in the women’s game.

But Niklas Edin led Typhoon to a 9-4 win over Joel Retornaz in the men’s game, and Typhoon clinched the win when Tori Koana and Tsuyoshi Yamaguchi downed Sofia Scharback and Oskar Eriksson 7-4 in mixed doubles.

Typhoon, which was swept 3-0 by Northern United on Thursday, improved to 3-2.

Northern couldn’t keep the momentum going, losing 2-1 to Frontier Curling Club on Friday. Frontier pulled out the win in dramatic fashion when Stefania Constantini’s women’s team scored four in the final end in a 7-6 win over Giulia Zardini Lacedelli.
