Notes

edit
  1. ^ a b Kraupp, who usually plays as third on Niklas Edin's team, played as skip. Edin sat out as the team's alternate due to a back injury. James Grattan filled the void from Edin's absence and played as third on the team.[3]
  2. ^ Brett Gallant played[4] as Gushue's second after Ryan Fry, Gushue's third in the 2011–12 season, left the team.[5]
  3. ^ Mark Nichols, the former longtime third for Brad Gushue, played as lead for Stoughton at the championship in order to complete Stoughton's rink, which dropped lead Steve Gould following the Manitoba provincials.[6]
