The All-Star Awards, as determined by shooting percentages during the round robin, have been announced at the 2009 M&M Meat Shops Canadian Juniors in Salmon Arm BC., with three Island men making the First Team All-Stars, and two making the Second Team.  First team All-Star third was Adam Casey of the PEI team with a 77 percent average. Charlottetown’s Robbie Doherty, currently living in New Brunswick, and playing on the Stephen Burgess rink, was All-Star second, also with a 77 percent shooting average. Jamie Danbrook of Team PEI was All-Star lead, shooting at 83 percent.  Alberta’s Kevin Yablonski (78%) was All-Star skip.

The remaining members of PEI’s Brett Gallant rink are on the Second team, with Gallant as All-Star skip with a 78 percent average (the same as Yablonski’s*), and Anson Carmody as All-Star second, at 76 percent. Rounding out the Second team are Taylor McIntyre of Manitoba (76%) at third, and David Aho of Northwest Territories at lead, with 81%.

Here are the women’s All-Stars:

 First Team

Skip: Casey Scheidegger, Alberta (81%)
Third: Jenna Loder, Manitoba  (79%)*
Second: Jessie Scheidegger, Alberta (83%)
Lead: Breanne Meakin, Manitoba (84%)
 
Second Team:

Skip: Rachel Homan, Ontario (80%)
Third: Kalynn Park, Alberta (79%)*
Second: Alison Kreviazuk, Ontario (78%)
Lead: Kaitlynd Burns, Northern Ontario (80%)

* In the case of a percentage tie, the all-star position goes to the player with the highest plus/minus for the week (a player receives a +1 for every game in which he/she outcurls the positional opponent by 5% or more).  Should they still be tied, the pre-event draw to the button results are used to determine the all-star.
