In Canada, Retornaz and his companions sign a monumental feat for the Italian movement, remaining undefeated in the Grand Prairie Tour Challenge.

Team Trentino drops the trio at the Tour Challenge in Grand Prairie, in Alberta, the second major test of the season, remains unbeaten and above all for the first time enters the playoffs.
And there were still only three players on the ice, due to the absence of Mattia Giovanella! Unlike competitions for nations, there is no provision for a reserve. It is a bit as if Milan, Inter, Napoli or Juventus had played with one less man, in all matches and from the first minute, in the Champions League group stage and had moved on to the knockout draw.
In this case they are the quarter-finals scheduled for Saturday. For Retornaz, Mosaner and Arman this is also the first real season on the Canadian circuit full time. It is the third Grand Slam tournament they are invited to. And in yesterday's game they recovered from 4-1 in the third end, against another local squadron led by Bottcher. With the last shot Retornaz scored the 2 points of the final 6-5. Today Cembra's team returns to the field against Kevin Koe, at 4.30 pm Italian time.
