The competitive curling season is underway in Atlantic Canada, with the Lakeshore Curling Club Cashspiel, a World Curling Tour event, taking place in Lower Sackville NS this weekend. Two PEI rinks are competing, with the team of Jamie Newson (skip), Matthew MacLean, Daniel Richard and Connor MacPhee being the only non-Nova Scotia foursome playing in the 12 team men’s section, with an $8000 total purse.

The $6400 women’s side features 12 Nova Scotia rinks, plus the Island squad skipped by Robyn MacPhee, which includes third Sarah Fullerton, second Meaghan Hughes, and lead Michelle McQuaid. The MacPhee rink were in the AMJ Campbell Shorty Jenkins Classic last weekend in Cornwall Ontario, finishing just short of the playoffs with a 2-2 win-loss record.
