Here is Team Stevens’ livestream from their opening draw game against PEI’s Shelly Bradley rink this morning at The Curling Store cashspiel at the Lakeshore Curling Club in Lower Sackville NS. They are reporting that the wifi is “spotty”, so be patient! Stevens has yellow stones.
The Curling Store Cashspiel goes this weekend, September 25-27, at the Lakeshore Curling Club in Lower Sackville NS. The CurlingZone results website lists seven teams, all from Nova Scotia, on the men’s side of the event, while the women’s event shows twelve teams, including PEI rinks skipped by Suzanne Birt and Shelly Bradley, as well as Islanders Erin Carmody and Lauren Ferguson on the Jill Brothers and Taylour Stevens rinks, respectively, from Halifax.
Last year Team Birt, who went undefeated at 4-0 in the round-robin, lost a close 4-3 decision to Brothers, who stole the final end. Mary-Anne Arsenault was the event winner. Arsenault, who has represented Nova Scotia 14 times at the Scotties, will not be back this year, as she has moved west to skip the team previously led by Kelly Scott.
During National Coaches Week, Sport PEI is highlighting some of the outstanding coaches across PEI, including curling coach, Montague Curling Club manager, and championship icemaker Larry Richards!
Here’s Larry receiving a National #CoachesWeek notebook, presented to the highlighted coaches!
Here’s Larry’s profile:
Larry Richards – Curling
Team Carver U16 Girls
What does this coach do that makes him/her a great coach?
Larry is supportive and gives his free time to our team.
Write a memory/story about this coach.
When we have our “Team meetings” and we play with the magnetic curling board and laugh and make jokes to relive anything that might have happened during our not-so-best game or not-so-best practice
Pick 3 words that describes this coach. Explain why you chose each word.
Humorous: he can always make us laugh in a serious situation
Driven: to help our team be the best we can be
Busy: because he is the best ice tech on PEI but still puts a lot of time into our team
What is an important skill this coach has that makes them a good coach?
Friendly and this makes him a good coach because he is always friendly to our team, competitors and their coach(s), and to everybody around him.
ALL competitors and coaches are required to sign a declaration and waiver if they have reached the age of majority. The parent/guardian of a curler under the age of majority will sign an assumption of risk form.
COMPLETE INFORMATION AND DOCUMENTS AVAILABLE HERE.
Twelve of Atlantic Canada’s competitive men’s teams will compete in the Monctonian Challenge – Men’s Division for prize money as well as bragging rights. Teams will include several provincial champions among the top competitors.
Due to COVID-19, spectators will not be permitted this season; however, plans are in the works to live stream the games on Facebook.
The Taylour Stevens team from the host Halifax Curling Club, which includes PEI’s Lauren Ferguson at third stone, won the women’s section, while Team Weagle won the men’s, as the 2020 Freeman Group-IG Private Wealth Management U21 Spiel wrapped up today in Halifax.
Team Weagle, from the Chester Curling Club, includes Lead: Scott Weagle Third: Scott Mitchell Fourth: Owen Purcell and Skip: Graeme Weagle.
Cornwall’s Mitchell Schut team, the only PEI entry in the 8-men’s and 8-women’s team event, finished play in their four-team round robin pool at 1 win against 2 losses, and split their two final games for an overall win-loss record of 2-3.
During National Coaches Week, Sport PEI is highlighting some of the outstanding coaches across PEI. Among those highlighted is David MacFadyen, coach of the Brayden Snow team, who won the Syngenta 2020 P.E.I. Under-18 Boy’s curling championship at the Western Community Curling Club in Alberton in March.
Profile:
David MacFadyen – Curling
Team Snow
What does this coach do that makes him/her a great coach?
He just makes us feel good when he gets to practice we do hard work but we have fun at the same time and that is from being a good coach it’s all about a balance he knows that balance very well.
What lesson(s) has this coach instilled in you/athletes/or others?
Coach Dave has instilled in our brain that its all about fun he has taught us that if there is no fun you are just wasting your time playing this sport he has also instilled in us that if everyone made their shots the game would be boring, it’s OK to miss it’s how you rebound after that.
Write a memory/story about this coach.
One of the memories that stick out in the teams mind is in the final game of the U18 Provincials and how good coach Dave is at getting us back into the zone and focused again he was key in getting us back in the game and that memory will always be one of our favourites.
The 2020-2021 curling season gets underway at 7:45 this evening at the Halifax Curling Club for the Mitchell Schut team from the Cornwall Curling Club, who are participating in the IG Private Wealth Management Freeman Group U21 Spiel, with 8 teams in both the junior men’s and the junior women’s divisions.
(L-R): Skip – Mitchell Schut • Fourth – Chase MacMillan • Second – Cruz Pineau • Lead – Liam Kelly
No other PEI teams are entered, but the Josh Nowlan team from New Brunswick is in the event. Josh is the grandson of Summerside curlers Lou and Marg Nowlan. The event wraps up on Sunday.
Both divisions have two pools of four teams playing a round-robin format. The top two teams of each pool make the playoff round.
The 2020 Annual General Meeting of Curl PEI will be held on Tuesday, October 6, 2020 at 6:30 pm at the Silver Fox Entertainment Complex, 110 Water Street in Summerside. Those interested in attending are asked to register with Amy Duncan (aduncan@sportpei.pe.ca or 902-368-2250) by October 1.
Canada’s top curling teams are trying to cobble together a competitive fall season despite the COVID-19 pandemic decimating the calendar.
The Grand Slam of Curling was whittled from six events this winter to just two scheduled for next April and November’s Canada Cup of Curling was cancelled, creating a competitive void for the country’s elite curlers.
The annual Stu Sells Tankards in Oakville, Ont., and Toronto were both moved to Waterloo, Ont., for the weekends of Oct. 2-4 and Oct. 9-12.
Jacobs, John Epping, Glenn Howard, Jennifer Jones and Rachel Homan are among teams entered to play at the Kitchener-Waterloo Granite Club.
(L-R) Brad Gushue, Mark Nichols, Brett Gallant, Geoff Walker
Reigning Canadian champions Brad Gushue and Kerri Einarson are not.
Gushue, from St. John’s, N.L., said his team will likely enter Atlantic Canada events only for the rest of 2020.
If the three-time national champion and his teammates left the region to curl, they would have to quarantine for 14 days upon return under current provincial public health regulations.
“To go play a four-day event and have to quarantine for 14, the cost-benefit analysis doesn’t add up,” Gushue said.
“We’re probably just going to play three events where typically we’d play in seven to 10 events.”
Due to the continued uncertainty surrounding COVID-19, including the possibility of a predicted “second wave”, the PEI organizing committee, co-chaired by Winston Bryan and Peter MacDonald, with the approval of the national executive, doosn’t feel comfortable hosting the Canadian Fire Fighters Curling Hydrant Championship at this time and have decided to cancel the 2020 event, which had been rescheduled for November 6-15.
PEI is tentatively planning to host the 2021 Championship in the March/April timeframe. The Saskatchewan organizing committee, originally scheduled to host that event, has agreed to host in 2022. Details are still being worked out. The organizing committee thanks the players and fans for supporting this decision.
