[6] An ice storm hit Ottawa on April 5, knocking out power in various parts of the city, but not at TD Place.

Rocks were re-textured prior to matches on the day, and Canada skip Brad Gushue indicated that the venue was cooler in the morning, but the ice held up.

[9] Down by two in the tenth end, Edin had to throw a rock with an incredible amount of spin, making it curl enough to bump a guarded corner-frozen Norwegian stone at the perfect angle to avoid moving the Swedish rock it was frozen to, while also moving the Norwegian stone far enough to score two.

[11][12][13] Turkey won their first ever game at the Men's World Championship in their draw 15 match against New Zealand, defeating the Kiwis 8–5.

[15] In the qualification games, Canada easily dispatched Sweden 9–1, ending their reign as four-time defending World champions, while Italy eliminated Norway, 8–4.

Canada then went on to defeat the number one seeded Swiss in the semifinals 7–5, while Italy lost to Scotland 8–9 in an extra end.

After leading 3–0 after three, the Swiss stole even more points, including a three-ender in the fifth after Italian skip Joël Retornaz took out his own stone.

The team struck first blood in the second end scoring a deuce, after Mouat made a double take out.

Canada finally got a two-ender in the sixth, when Scotland played the end safe, with Mouat opting for an easier hit instead of a double.

After a blanked seventh, Gushue made another mistake when he was not able to remove a Scottish stone from the house, allowing Mouat to make a hit for three.

With the score now 9–3 for Scotland, Canada conceded the game, handing the World Championship to Mouat and company.
