The final championship of the PEI curling season, the Island Petroleum Junior Mixed, takes place Easter weekend at the Crapaud Community Curling Club. This new mixed curling event has divisions for age 20 and under, with four teams signed up, and for age 15 and under, with six teams participating. Each division will play a triple knockout draw, with draws at 10 am, and 2 and 6 pm, beginning Saturday April 11 and wrapping up on Easter Monday with a two game championship round. If the same team wins all three sections in the triple knockout, the champion will be declared in the 10 am Monday draw, without the need for the 2 and 6 pm championship round. If the same team wins two sections, they will win the championship round if they win either game.
