The Christopher Gallant rink from the Charlottetown Curling Club are the only unbeaten rink after opening day play at the eight team PEI Junior Mixed Curling Championships, for curlers age 20 and under, being played at the Cornwall Curling Club. Gallant, with teammates Emily Keen, Andrew Cameron, and Emma Matheson, and coaches Derrick Cameron and Peter Gallant, doubled the Tyler Smith rink, which has members from the Charlottetown, Silver Fox, and Maple Leaf clubs, by a 6-3 score in the opening draw, and got by the Matthew MacLean foursome from the Maple Leaf and Cornwall clubs, 5-3 in the evening round. The Gallant squad won the 15 and Under division of this event last year. That division is  not being held this year, due to insufficient numbers.

The eight teams in this year’s 20 and Under event are divided into two round robin pools of four teams. Gallant is 2-0 in the A pool, with Smith, and Shawn Pitre and his host club team both 1-1, while MacLean is 0-2. In the B pool, all four teams, skipped by Carolyn Rose (Cornwall/Montague), Spencer Pitre (Charlottetown/Cornwall), Marshall Smallman (Cornwall/Maple Leaf), and Cody Dixon (Montague) are knotted at 1-1. 

 The round robin wraps up with the 11 am Saturday draw. Tie breakers, if needed, go at 3 pm, and, if required, 7 pm. The Page game between the 1st place team in each pool  goes at either 3 or 7 pm, while the Page game between the two second place teams will go at 3 pm Saturday if no tiebreakers,  7 pm if one tiebreaker round, or 8 am Sunday if two tiebreaker rounds are required.

The winner of the Page 1 vs 1 game advances directly to the 3 pm Sunday final, while the 2 vs 2 winner plays the loser of the 1 vs 1 game in the semi-final at 11 am Sunday, with the semi-final winner going to the final.

Games in this event are eight ends.
