Future PEI curling stars in action at the Fox this weekend

The Silver Fox Curling and Yacht Club in Summerside will play host to two curling championships this weekend, the KFC 12 & Under and the M&M Meat Shops 15 & Under, featuring PEI’s youngest competitive curlers, The events, each with boys and girls divisions, will alternate draws during round robin play, which begins Friday morning at 9 for the 15  & Under event, and at noon for the 12 & Under. The two events will be on the ice at the same time for the championship games, with the finals in both events going Sunday afternoon.

 

 

Four boys and six girls teams are entered in the M&M Meat Shops 15 & Under. Last year’s 15 and Under champions were the Veronica Smith rink from the Cornwall Curling Club, and the Kyle Hughes foursome from the Charlottetown and Maple Leaf curling clubs. Three members of the Smith team are back this year, skipped by Katie Fullerton, as Smith has graduated from the age category. Two members of the Hughes rink are back this year, but are on different teams.
