KFC and Curl PEI are again sponsoring two events for the Under 13 age category – the boys and girls provincial championships, from March 7-10 at the Crapaud Community Curling Club, and a fun tournament for beginning curlers, with a maximum of two curlers with two or more years experience permitted on a team, on March 24 at the Cornwall Curling Club. The Owen Collier rink from the Montague Curling Club and the Sarah Parsons team from the Crapaud Community Curling Club are last year’s U13 provincial champs.

Entry deadline for the KFC U13 boys and girls Provincials has now been extended to Wednesday February 13. Entry fee is $120/team. Draw format will be determined by the number of entries. To-date, three boys and five girls teams have signed up.

The deadline to enter the fun tournament is March 1, with an entry fee of $20 per person. Any combination of boys and girls is permitted on a team for the fun event, which also includes off-ice fun and games. Coach or chaperone is requested to be on the ice for each game.

In both events, Gold, Silver, and Bronze medals are awarded to the top 3 teams, based on total points (10 pts for a win, 5 for a tie, 2 points/end, and 1 pt difference of score up to max. of 5). All games are 6 ends in the Provincials, and 4 ends in the fun tournament.

All entries for both events must be made online at PEICurling.com. Note that all entries must include a coach or chaperone.
