EDMONTON — Sharp rocks, challenging ice, and the steady buildup of frost made for a guessing game in Canada’s opener at the Ford world men’s curling championship on Saturday. “I think I had three flashes, which is obviously a killer against this kind of team,” Schwarz said. Attendance records were set in this arena for the men’s world championship (184,970 in 2007), the Brier (281,985 in 2005) and the Olympic Trials (175,952 in 2009). Koe won the world championship last year in Basel, Switzerland. Gushue has a chance to become the first skip to win gold at the world junior championship (2001), Olympic Games (2006) and world men’s championship.
