PEI Mixed:
The Dennis Watts rink from the Silver Fox Curling Club, who won the PEI Mixed in 2017 with three members of the current team, went undefeated in seven games to win the 2022 PEI Mixed Curling Championship Saturday evening at the Crapaud Community Curling Club.

As Watts won all three modified triple knockout qualifier games, the two game Sunday championship round was not needed. Watts and his team of third Jaclyn Reid, 2nd Terry Arsenault and lead Alison Griffin won the “A” Qualifier 7-2 over Montague’s Shane MacDonald, and kept clubmate Nick Blanchard and his team off the scoreboard in both the “B” and “C” Qualifiers, winning them by identical 10-0 scores, the “B” in six ends, and the “C” in just four.
Finalist rink (R-L): Nick blanchard (skip), Stephanie Schnare (3rd), Adam Arsenault (2nd), Terri Wood (lead)
The winning Watts team will now advance to the Canadian Mixed Curling Championship, November 6-12, 2022.
Eight teams from 4 PEI curling facilities took part in the PEI MIxed.
