On April 7, 2025, the curling world witnessed a showdown like no other. For the first time ever, the reigning men’s and women’s world champions went head-to-head in the Rio Mare Battle of the Sexes at the sold-out Mattamy Athletic Centre in Toronto.
Team Homan and Team Mouat arrived as the top-ranked teams in the world after historic seasons—and delivered a show for the ages in a special Skins Game format.
Bruce Mouat, fresh off his World Championship win just 24 hours prior, had a surprise coach for the night—NBA Champion and curling superfan Matt Bonner. Team Homan, backed by Team Wrana and the Homan Empire, brought the energy, the drama, and the trickery (hello, “Sweep Stop”).
After a fierce back-and-forth, epic runbacks, broom swaps, and even a prize bump from Mr. Mike’s, Team Mouat prevailed with 10 skins to 2. But the real winners? Two incredible causes: 💛 Charlie Boy’s Cancer Fundraiser – $10,000 💙 Sandra Schmirler Foundation – $2,000 This was more than a curling match—it was a celebration of excellence, innovation, and community.
