PEI’s youngest curling champions will be determined at the conclusion of the KFC Provincial Under 13 Curling Championship, which gets underway at 4 this afternoon, with the final and bronze medal games going at 1:30 pm Sunday, at the Cornwall Curling Club. This year’s event is open entry, with any combination of boys and/or girls on a team. In last year’s event, which had separate boys and girls divisions, the rink of Mitchell Schut, Parker MacFadyen, Nick Johnston, and Draven Kowalski, with coaches Mike Schut and Butch McGee from the Cornwall club went undefeated to win the boys’ title, while the team of Tegan Corkum, Elly Whitney-Coulter, Maddison Moore, and Gabrielle Gallant, with coach Robert Corkum, from the Silver Fox Curling & Yacht Club in Summerside, also went undefeated to capture the girls’ division. Schut is back this year, with a different team.

Eight rinks are entered in this year’s event, and will play a triple knockout format, qualifying four teams for a Page championship round, with the winner of the Page game between the first two qualifiers being declared the winner, and the loser being the runner-up. Third place will go to the winner of the bronze medal game between the third and fourth qualifiers. Games in the U13 championships are 6 ends.

Opening ceremonies go at 7  this evening, in advance of draw two at 7:30. Saturday play is at 10 am, and 1:30 and 5 pm, with the last two qualifiers for the 1:30 pm Sunday Page championship round being determined at 10 am Sunday.
