The 1994 Canadian Mixed Curling Championship was held March 26–April 2 at the Leduc Curling Club in Leduc, Alberta.[2]
Team New Brunswick, skipped by Grant Odishaw won the event, defeating British Columbia (Eric Wiltzen) in the final, 9–5. Costly mistakes by British Columbia in the ninth end led to a score of two for New Brunswick. Wiltzen's wife Jan had a hog line violation, while Wiltzen himself was heavy on a draw attempt. Both teams curled 73 per cent in the final. It was the first mixed title for New Brunswick.[1] It was also the first time the province won two national titles in the same year, with David Sullivan winning the 1994 Canadian Senior Curling Championships, only one week prior.[3]
For New Brunswick's third, Heather Smith, it was her second national title played in Leduc. She had also won the 1991 Canadian Junior Curling Championships there. For Odishaw, it was his first national title in five trips to the Canadian mixed.[1]
