Charlottetown’s Mike Gaudet rink beat the Brett Gallant foursome by a 7-5 score tonight at the Cornwall Curling Club to win the PEI Tankard Provincial Men’s Curling Championship. It’s Gaudet’s fourth Tankard, winning as skip in 1994 and 2004, and last year as third for Eddie MacKenzie, who played third for runner-up Gallant this year. Other members of the Gaudet rink are Tyler MacKenzie, Tyler Harris, and Sean Clarey. Backing up Gallant were MacKenzie at third, Anson Carmody at second, and Alex MacFadyen at lead stone, with coach Al Ledgerwood.

The Gaudet foursome will advance to the Tim Hortons Brier, March 3-11 in Saskatoon.
