MacFadyen rink 0-3 at Canadian Firefighters in Saint John

The Gordon MacFadyen rink from the Summerside Fire Department are still looking for their first win after day two play at the 54th Canadian Firefighters Curling Championship, at the Thistle-St. Andrew’s curling club in Saint John New Brunswick.

The four-time PEI champions lost their opener on Saturday, 9-5 to defending champion Jeff Zechner and his Northern Ontario team from the Nipigon Fire Dept. On Sunday, the MacFadyen team lost a close game to Edmonton’s Aaron Bartling foursome, 9-8 in an extra end. PEI led 8-5 after 7 ends, but Alberta took a single in eight, and stole single points in ends nine, ten, and the extra, to pull out the win. The Island squad then faced a strong Saskatchewan team, skipped by Gregg Tarasoff, giving up a triple and two four ends en route to a 12-6 loss. The MacFadyen rink, which includes third Leo Stewart, second Jim Arsenault, and lead Jason Cameron, takes on the Northwest Territories and Nova Scotia on Monday.

Three teams – British Columbia, Nova Scotia, and Southern Ontario are still unbeaten at 2-0, while New Brunswick, Northern Ontario, and Saskatchewan are 2-1. Alberta, Manitoba, and Quebec sit at 1-2, while NWT and PEI are 0-3. The finals are Saturday at 1 pm.
