Pepsi Juniors start Sunday in Montague (fixed some draw times)

The first provincial curling championship of the season, the Pepsi Bottling Group Juniors, for curlers age 20 and Under, gets underway on Sunday January 2, and wraps up on Wednesday the 5th at the Montague Curling Club. Eight junior men’s and five junior women’s teams are entered. This year’s champions will advance to the M&M Meat Shops Canadian Juniors, January 29-February 5, 2011, in Calgary Alberta. The defending PEI junior women’s team, skipped by Sarah Fullerton of Cornwall, is back to defend their title this year, but there will be a new junior men’s winner, as five-time provincial and 2009 Canadian champ Brett Gallant has elected to move up to the Labatt Tankard Men’s competition.

Here are the team rosters:
