Online, April 11, 2011 (Newswire.com) - In the often unpredictable world of competitive sport, it is difficult to pick a winner. That's why JELD-WEN of Canada Ltd. is particularly proud that a team it has backed from the beginning of the 2010/2011 season, Jeff Stoughton's Team Canada, has won the Ford World Men's Curling Championship in Regina, SK. After a commanding 10-1 finish in round robin play, Team Stoughton trumped Scotland 6-5 in the final to come out on top.

Representing Canada at the Ford World Men's Curling Championship, the team is comprised of Jeff Stoughton (skip), Jon Mead (third), Reid Carruthers (second) and Steve Gould (lead).
