STATS
The best teams don’t always win the championship. At least not when it comes to statistics. The Canadian Curling Association has kept individual and team shooting percentages at its national championships since 1982, and often times, the team with the best average isn’t the champion.
Here’s a look at the all-time top team shooting percentages and the teams’ final positions:
