The 2026 PEI Women’s Curling Championship took place earlier this month at the Montague Curling Club, bringing together five teams representing four Island curling clubs.
The field included Team Forestell (Cornwall Curling Club), Team Morrow (Crapaud Community Curling Club), Team Power and Team White (Summerside Curling Club), and Team Selkirk (Montague Curling Club). Teams competed in a modified triple knockout format that created multiple routes to the playoffs.
Team Power and Team Selkirk crossed paths in all three qualifying games. Team Selkirk punched their ticket to the playoffs by winning the A Qualifier, while Team Power captured both the B and C Qualifiers. That performance meant Team Power would need to be beaten twice in the playoff round.
The championship final delivered a close battle, with the teams tied heading into the sixth end. Team Power broke the deadlock, held control through the late ends, and secured a 7–5 victory to claim the 2026 PEI Women’s Championship.
