Like a well-oiled machine that couldn't be stopped, Team Canada continued its dominance over Team Europe Sunday morning, sweeping the three skins matches to clinch victory in the 2015 World Financial Group Continental Cup.

Canada then won two of the three evening matches for good measure.

In a race to 30.5 points, Canada entered Sunday's draws with a 22-8 lead, needing just 8.5 points to win the event — which it did in Draw 10 by claiming 10.5 points. Canada then added another 9.5 points in Draw 11 to finish the four-day competition with a 42-18 advantage.

When Niklas Edin's long runback try came up wide, giving Mike McEwen the full point that guaranteed Canada's victory, non-playing members cheering on the bench swarmed over the boards to ignite an on-ice victory celebration that temporarily halted the two other games still in process.

"We could kind of see the other matches going well and the timing just worked out for that to happen," McEwen said of posting the clinching point. "It was kind of cool to put that final blow on the board."

And he, like the fans in the stands, was surprised to see his teammates storm onto the ice.

"Yeah because there's those huge LED signs and they've been ragging on us, Do Not Jump Over These," he said with a smile. "So it was kind of cool that nobody listened."

In the end McEwen beat Edin 3.5 to 1.5, the identical scores to Rachel Homan's win over Margaretha Sigfridsson and the Pat Simmons-skipped mixed team victory over the European foursome skipped by Torger Nergård of Norway.

Teams play eight-end games in the skins competition, scoring points by counting two or more with last rock, or one point or more without. The first six ends are each worth half a point with the final two ends worth one point each.

While McEwen, third B.J. Neufeld, second Matt Wozniak and lead Ben Hebert posted the clinching point, it was the Simmons-led team of Lori Olson-Johns, Carter Rycroft and Rachelle Brown who got the team fired up early.

Normally the third on the John Morris-skipped Team Canada, Simmons was handed the skip spot for the mixed skins game and he made two McEwen-like shots in the second and fourth ends to win full-point carryover skins to put Canada in position to clinch the cup before this afternoon's final round of skins.

"Crazy, wasn't it?" replied Team Canada coach Rick Lang when asked about the Simmons performance. "Pat came through in spades and kind of got the spirit going today. Put us on the board early and everyone followed."

But, added Lang, it was a solid team performance from Thursday's opening draw that ultimately led to victory.

"We had six teams right at the top of their games; extremely well prepared, excited to be here and committed to the effort," he said. "We had no weak links in our chain, whatsoever."

In the evening draws, Brad Jacobs of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont. beat Great Britain's Dave Murdoch 4-1 in a rematch of the gold-medal matchup from the Sochi Olympics while Winnipeg's Jennifer Jones played Scotland's Eve Muirhead to a 2.5 tie.

"You could tell we were sharp from the get-go," said Jones. "And we never let up. It was coming together as a team, getting that camaraderie and great energy. And we had that from day one. We got on a roll and never looked back."

Canada also edged Europe 3-2 in the evening's mixed team competition.
