The lead for the Adam Casey rink won his first-ever P.E.I. Tankard provincial men’s curling championship in Alberton on Tuesday.“It feels awesome,” said Doherty, who was born and raised in Charlottetown. “I took two or three seasons off, so I felt kind of cold coming into it.

“Even though we played a lot, there is nothing that can replicate the Tankard and the intensity of it.

Third stone Josh Barry calls a shot by skip Adam Casey during the P.E.I. Tankard provincial men’s curling championship in Alberton last weekend.

Barry, who plays third stone, joined forces with skip Adam Casey of Seven Mile Bay, second stone Anson Carmody of Summerside and lead Robbie Doherty of Charlottetown for the 2014-15 curling season. The rink lists both the Silver Fox Curling and Yacht Club in Summerside and the Charlottetown Curling Complex as their home clubs.“I’m originally from Fredericton, and I finished up school and was looking for a change,” said Barry, 22. “When this opportunity came open, I came over here (P.E.I.).”

“It was a different year for me because I played with three guys I didn’t know,” explained Barry, who lives in Charlottetown. “We are all on the same page, and all had the same goals.

“We are still getting to know each other, and we definitely jelled as a team better this weekend than we have all year.”
