Seven teams to compete for Pepsi Provincial Junior curling titles, 12 for PEI Seniors crowns, in Summerside
The Pepsi Provincial Junior Men’s and Junior Women’s Curling Championships, for curlers in the Under 21 age category, take place at the same time and venue as the PEI Senior Men and Senior Women’s championships, at the 6-sheet Silver Fox Curling Club from February 18-21 2021, with four junior men’s and three junior women’s teams entered in the Pepsi Juniors, with seven Men’s and five women’s rinks entered in the Seniors, for curlers age 50 and over.
The Canadian Juniors event is cancelled this year, but the PEI Seniors champs are scheduled to advance to the Canadian Seniors, with dates and venue yet to be announced (possible dates December 6-11, 2021).
Defending Junior champions the Lauren Ferguson junior women’s team from Cornwall, and the Tyler Smith foursome from the Charlottetown Curling Club are not back this year, as Ferguson is curling in Nova Scotia, while Smith has aged out of Juniors and competed as third stone on the winning PEI Tankard men’s team this year, skipped by Eddie MacKenzie.
2020 Men’s champions (L-R): Craig Mackie representing Curl PEI, Phil Gorveatt, Kevin Champion, Sean Ledgerwood, Mike Dillon
2020 Women’s winners (L-R): Julie Scales, Kathy O’Rourke, Susan McInnis, Kim Dolan
Two-time defending Senior Men’s Champ Phil Gorveatt, out of Montague this year, is back with last year’s team intact. The defending Senior Women’s champions, skipped by Kim Dolan, and representing Cornwall, are also back.
The Pepsi Juniors play ten-end games, while the Seniors play eight ends.
Teams in both divisions and each event will play modified triple knockout draws, where the winning team from each section also gets to compete in the next section. If a team wins all three sections, they will win the event without a championship round. If a team wins two sections, they will advance to a championship game against the winner of the other section and will take the championship if they win the game. If the other team wins, there will be a second championship game, with the winner of that game going to the nationals. If there are three separate section winners, the team that played in the most section finals will earn a bye to the second championship game where they will face the winner of a game between the other two finalists.
Live results from the provincial Seniors and Pepsi Juniors championships are available at PEICurling.com.

The Team Snow and Team Schut Junior teams have announced that they plan to live-stream their games on their Facebook pages.

Draw Charts
(will not be updated during event – refer to live scoring for draw progression)

2. If one team wins two qualifiers. They play in both MA/WA and MB/WB (and win the event if they win either game), the other winner plays in MA/WB (and has to win both games).
3. Three separate winners: the team that played in the most qualifying games* plays in MB/WB and the other winners play off in MA/WB. If there is a tie in number of qualifying games played, then the team that qualified earliest goes to MB/WB and the other two teams play off in MA/WA
