The votes have been tabulated and the field is finalized for next month’s TCG All-Star Game in Nashville.

Skips Brad Gushue and Matt Dunstone plus Team Homan lead Sarah Wilkes and second Emma Miskew earned the final spots after a fan vote, The Curling Group announced Wednesday.

The four join eight other curlers selected by a panel of judges based on their performances throughout the season.

The two-day event runs April 15-16 at Tee Line Nashville and will feature a pro-am, a skills competition and an All-Star skins game.

Team Koe second Tyler Tardi, who has created a buzz on social media with trick shot videos, has also been invited to compete in the skills competition.

The TCG All-Star event follows the AMJ Players’ Championship, the fifth and final Grand Slam of Curling tournament of the season, running April 8-13 at Toronto’s Mattamy Athletic Centre.

The All-Star Game will be the first event held outside of Canada for The Curling Group (TCG). The sports business venture acquired the Grand Slam of Curling in 2024.
