McEwen says Sunday night’s loss hurts because Saskatchewan did not play their best.

“Tough (ice) conditions, I think you could tell both teams were struggling with the ice, but Brad was stellar the first four ends,” McEwen said. “He nailed us the first four ends.”

Despite the loss, McEwen says he is incredibly proud of his team. 

“We have everything to be proud of with what we did in six months,” McEwen said. “This is a great team, and we’re not done yet.” (via 620CKRM.com
