Entries closed at midnight for the Pepsi Provincial Junior Men’s and Women’s Curling Championships, with five Junior Women’s and an equal number of Junior Men’s teams, from five PEI curling clubs, signed up.
The PEI Pepsi Juniors Curling Championships, with male and female divisions for curlers under 21, take place at the Montague Curling Club from Dec. 27-31 2016. Last year’s winners were the Katie Fullerton rink from Cornwall, and the Matthew MacLean foursome from the Maple Leaf and Cornwall clubs. This year’s winners advance to the 2017 Canadian Junior (Under 21) Men’s and Women’s Curling Championships, to be staged Jan. 21-29 at the Archie Browning Sports Centre in Esquimalt (a suburb of Victoria BC), using the facility’s hockey arena and six-sheet curling rink to decide which teams will represent Canada at the 2017 World Junior Curling Championships in PyeongChang, South Korea.
