Moncton, N.B., will host Canada’s best men’s and women’s 50-and-over curling teams for the first time next year, it was announced today by Curling Canada.
Curl Moncton will be home to the 2024 Everest Funeral Concierge Canadian Curling Senior Championships from Dec. 2-7, 2024.
“Moncton is home to some remarkable moments in curling’s history. The community and host committee always create an exciting environment for our national championships to thrive. This will mark the first time the Everest Canadian Seniors are in Moncton, and we can’t wait to see what the host committee has in store for the athletes and fans,” said Curling Canada interim CEO Danny Lamoureux.
While it is Moncton’s first time hosting the Everest Canadian Seniors, the city has proven experience hosting premier national and international curling events.
Curl Moncton hosted the inaugural Canadian Under-18 Curling Championships in 2017 and the Canadian Junior Curling Championships in 2000.
Curling Canada’s partnership with Everest – a funeral planning and concierge service rolled into a life insurance plan – as the title sponsor of the Canadian senior championships dates back to 2015.
“2024 marks Everest Funeral Concierge’s 10th consecutive year sponsoring the Canadian Senior Curling Championships,” said Mark Duffey, Everest’s Chief Executive Officer. “It’s an amazing milestone for this incredible sport and for our ongoing partnership with Curling Canada. Everest is committed to supporting lives well played and curling represents some of the best ones in the country. We love the curling community and we can’t wait for this year’s competition.”
“10 years of supporting curlers and the curling community is incredible,” said renowned Canadian curler and newly announced Canada’s Sports Hall of Famer Randy Ferbey. “My fellow Everest Curling Executive Committee members, Jennifer Jones and Cheryl Bernard, and I are all excited to promote the sport we love at the Everest Canadian Senior Curling Championships in Moncton, New Brunswick in December 2024!”
“Moncton has a long history as a curling city and we can’t wait to host the 2024 Everest Canadian Senior Championships!” said Moncton Mayor Dawn Arnold. “Our region has developed an impressive reputation for successfully holding local, national, and international sporting events and we look forward to ensuring this event’s athletes and visitors have the same outstanding experience people have come to expect from us. We also appreciate what this will mean for local curlers, who will be inspired and motivated by seeing these top-ranking teams play in our community.”
In addition to winning a coveted Canadian championship, the winning men’s and women’s teams in Moncton will represent Canada at the 2024 World Senior Curling Championships (location, date TBA by the World Curling Federation).
Curl PEI has been working to increase participation in the sport, create more opportunities for training and development and help Island clubs be healthy and active. One source of revenue is the Curl PEI individual membership fee which includes personal accident insurance for all member curlers at the member clubs. This coverage is there to help member curlers in case of any accident or injury that may happen as a result of participating in curling.
The 2023-2024 curling season will see an increase of $3 in the Curl PEI fee, bringing the fee to $18 per member curler. Curlers will pay this annual fee as part of their normal club registration fees.
By paying this annual fee, curlers play a fundamental part in securing the future of the sport In Prince Edward Island. Curl PEI works to keep the membership fee as low as possible with this being the first increase since the individual fee was implemented.
For further information about the increase or the Curl PEI fee please reach out to the Curl PEI office at [email protected] or 902-368-4208.
The world’s most famous and historic national curling championship will have a distinct smoky flavouring beginning in March in Regina, it was announced today.
Montana’s BBQ & Bar will join very select company as just the fifth title sponsor in the history of the Canadian men’s curling championship, which dates back to its inaugural event in 1927.
The 2024 Montana’s Brier, presented by AGI, is scheduled for March 1-10 at the Brandt Centre in Regina.
“We knew that there would be a great deal of interest from a sponsorship perspective when we started the process to find a new partner for the Brier,” said Danny Lamoureux, Interim Chief Executive Officer of Curling Canada. “The Montana’s brand is known from coast to coast, just like the Brier, so it’s a perfect fit and I have a feeling there will be some wonderful opportunities for both Montana’s and Curling Canada as we work together down the road.”
Montana’s will follow in the footsteps of the Brier’s four previous title sponsors — Macdonald Tobacco, Labatt Breweries, Nokia and Tim Hortons — in contributing to the success of curling’s most iconic event.
“The opportunity for Montana’s, Canada’s home for BBQ, to be affiliated with a historic and quintessential Canadian event like the Brier is an honour,” said Yianni Fountas, Director of Marketing for Montana’s BBQ & Bar. “We’re proud to be associated with the elite group of partners involved with Curling Canada’s Season of Champions and look forward to bringing our BBQ lifestyle to future events, supporting athletes at all levels and growing Canada’s game across the country.”
With nearly 100 locations across the country, Montana’s BBQ & Bar is a Canadian comfort food concept known for their famous fall off the bones ribs, smoked in-house daily; Canadian AAA Steaks; and Daily Deals great for any occasion. Montana’s celebrates fun-to-eat, finger-licking smoked barbecued comfort food that breaks the ‘proper’ rules of dining out. A welcoming gathering place where you can come as you are, dig in and get messy, their restaurants provide a casual and unpretentious environment perfect for creating memories with family and friends.
The 2024 Montana’s Brier, broadcast from start to finish by TSN/RDS2, will be the 95th edition of the Canadian men’s championship.
Three teams already have qualified to play in the 2024 Montana’s Brier — defending champion Team Brad Gushue of St. John’s, N.L., and two pre-qualified entries based on 2022-23 Canadian Team Ranking System standings, Team Brendan Bottcher (including PEI’s Brett Gallant) of Calgary and Team Matt Dunstone of Winnipeg.
Ticket packages will be available online at curling.ca/tickets, or in person at the Brandt Centre box office. Email ticket inquiries can be sent to [email protected].
The Brier has been played in 32 cities across Canada, from Victoria to St. John’s. Teams from Alberta have won 29 times, followed by Manitoba with 27 titles. New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, the Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut have yet to win.
Curling Canada, in association with its Member Associations across the country, will begin the long-awaited U15 RockFest youth development program during the 2023-24 curling season.
RockFest will feature curlers under 15 years of age competing at regional events nationwide for opportunities to develop their skills and compete against curlers from neighbouring provinces and territories in singles and triples format curling.
The new events focus on developing the skills of youth curlers as individuals, helping them develop a well-rounded skillset in all aspects of the game in a fun and competitive environment.
U15 RockFest events provide new opportunities for youth curlers beyond the Canadian Under-18 and Under-21 championships to compete and have fun while playing.
“Curling Canada is excited to launch the U15 Regional RockFest events for youth curlers this season because this age group is critical in our Long-Term Curler Development framework. These events provide young curlers with opportunities to experience skill-development events that extend their learning both on and off the ice,” said Curling Canada Manager of Youth & Program Development Dustin Mikush.
Curling Canada will organize four regional events with the respective regional Member Associations. Youth curlers across Canada will have the chance to compete at one of the following events:
U15 RockFest West (British Columbia, Yukon, Northwest Territories and Alberta)
U15 RockFest Prairies (Saskatchewan, Manitoba)
U15 RockFest East (Northern Ontario, Ontario, Nunavut, Quebec)
U15 RockFest Atlantic (New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland & Labrador)
The events will take place over three days and feature an action-packed schedule of U15 singles competitions, triples curling, skills development clinics, fun off-ice activities and the Golden RockFest.
“It is great to see the increased number of opportunities being offered to U15 curlers across the country,” said Steve Laycock, U15 Coach and 10-time Brier competitor. “Historically curlers would get introduced to the sport via the learn to curl programs run at their local curling centres but there wasn’t a clear path on what came next until they reached the U18 age group.
U15 curlers aged 14 or younger as of June 30, 2023, can qualify for regional U15 RockFest events through their local Member Associations.

The 2023 Curl PEI ADL Awards Celebration truly was a celebration. After nearly ten years without an awards night the Lone Oak Brewery & Taproom was filled with people ready to recognize the accomplishments and contributions of Island curlers and volunteers.
With a redesign of the Curl PEI awards there were a few new awards presented this year including the Junior True Sport Award. This Award was created in memory of a past Island curler and Curl PEI Board member, Craig MacKie. Craig was introduced to the sport of curling as a child and spent parts of the next six decades competing locally, regionally, and nationally. Craig believed in Giving Back and Including Everyone and he showed this through his actions of bringing new people onto his team at the Charlottetown Curling Curling Club and working with Clubs to create new programs to welcome new groups to the ice.
The first Junior True Sport Award recipients were Makiya Noonan from the Summerside Curling Club & Chase MacMillan from the Cornwall Curling Club.
(L-R): Makiya Noonan, Chase MacMillan and Veronica Smith (Curl PEI Board Member)
Makiya consistently embodies all seven True Sports Principles both within and beyond the sport of curling, demonstrating exceptional leadership, inclusivity, and dedication to giving back. Despite a demanding season marked by multiple provincial titles and participation in national events, Makiya actively volunteered her time to support new curlers, assisting with a 9-week Learn to Curl program and providing valuable assistance in teaching curling in her Physical Education classes. Her sportsmanship and support for her teammates and opponents was recognized with the presentation of the Sportsmanship award during the U18 Provincials Championships. Makiya’s inspiring story and curling success, featured in a recent Curling Canada article, have been shared with others, celebrating resilience and strength in the face of adversity.
Chase’s passion for curling is evident to anyone who knows him, as he wholeheartedly embraces all aspects of the sport, from playing to volunteering. His commitment to the game was especially evident during the Canada Winter Games, where he selflessly contributed over 175 hours as a dedicated volunteer, taking on various roles and going above and beyond to ensure the success of the events. Chase’s meticulous work, tireless efforts, and exceptional dedication were recognized and appreciated by athletes, officials, and fellow volunteers. With the conclusion of his junior curling career, Chase’s commitment to the sport remains unwavering, and he is truly deserving of this award as his dedication to curling knows no bounds.
Ella Lenentine from the Cornwall Curling Club and Tyler Smith from the Crapaud Community Curling Club were named Outstanding Athletes of Year.
(L-R): Debra Smith (accepting on behalf of Tyler Smith), Ella Lenentine and Veronica Smith (Curl PEI Board Member)
Ella Lenentine’s exceptional achievements in curling during the past season are definitely ones to be proud of. She displayed unmatched talent as she led her Junior team through the Provincial Junior Championships, skipped the victorious U18 girls championship squad, emerged triumphant in the 2023 Canada Winter Games elimination bonspiel, and secured victory in the Canada Games Mixed Doubles playdown alongside Cornwall clubmate Mitchell Schut. Ella’s success on the provincial stage, combined with her respectful demeanor, leadership qualities, involvement in the junior program, and well-rounded academic and athletic abilities, make her a highly respected and deserving Outstanding Athlete for 2023.
Tyler Smith’s remarkable achievements in the sport of curling, including first place in the Men’s Monctonian Challenge, second place in the Summerside Open Cash spiel, and emerging as the winner of both the PEI Provincial Tankard and PEI Provincial Mixed Championship, highlight his unwavering commitment to his craft. He demonstrates this commitment through his dedication to a weekly practice schedule, effectively balancing his work commitments with his practice and tournament schedules, and showcasing confidence in his ability to compete against more experienced teams. Tyler’s accomplishments are a testament to his hard work, perseverance, and determination in the pursuit of excellence in curling.
The 2023 Coach of the Year went to Robbie Lenentine, coach of the Ella Lenentine rink out of the Cornwall Curling Club.
(L-R): Robbie Lenentine and Veronica Smith (Curl PEI Board Member)
Robbie Lenentine’s dedication to the development of both his team and his own curling knowledge is evident in his pursuit of coaching certifications, including Competition Development programs focused on managing a program, health and wellness, and rules evaluation. He actively participates in coaching-related events and webinars, continually expanding his coaching expertise. Robbie is highly respected among junior curling coaches in the Maritime region, known for his approachability, commitment to developing young curlers through hosting events, good humor, adherence to rules, and respectful demeanor. He has achieved remarkable success as a coach, leading his daughter Ella’s team to three provincial titles, the U18 and U21 PEI Provincial Women’s championships, and the CWG women’s trials. Additionally, Robbie co-chaired and organized the renowned O’Connor Glass Cornwall Classic Atlantic junior bonspiel and provided coaching and assistance to other Cornwall junior teams throughout the season.
The Lenentine Team from the Cornwall Curling Clubreceived the Team of the Year award.
(L-R): Robbie Lenentine, Erika Pater, Kacey Gauthier, Makiya Noonan, Ella Lenentine and Veronica Smith (Curl PEI Board Member)
The Team Lenentine, consisting of Ella Lenentine, Makiya Noonan, Kacey Gauthier, Erika Pater and coach, Robbie Lenentine, showcased exceptional dedication, teamwork, and skill in their curling achievements. They emerged as champions in multiple competitions, representing PEI at the Canadian U18 and Junior championships as well as the Canada Winter Games. Their commitment to practicing, volunteering, maintaining high grades, and displaying positive attitudes both on and off the ice highlights their remarkable achievements in the past season.
This year’s Volunteer of the Year went to Tracy MacLean from the Montague Curling Club.
(L-R): Tracy MacLean and Veronica Smith (Curl PEI Board Member)
Tracy MacLean’s exceptional dedication and commitment to the curling club is truly remarkable. As a relatively new curler, she consistently volunteers her time and energy to various tasks, including preparing and maintaining the ice, selling tickets, providing treats, and supporting the club in any way possible. Tracy’s outstanding leadership skills were particularly evident when she took charge of the mixed doubles event for the 2023 Canada Games, investing countless hours into training and ensuring the event’s success. Her selfless contributions and genuine love for curling have made a significant impact on the club’s success and reputation, making her a highly valued and respected member of the community.
Our first ever Mentor of the Year award winner is Tim Hockin from the Summerside Curling Club.
(L-R): Tim Hockin and Veronica Smith (Curl PEI Board Member)
Tim Hockin’s dedication and leadership in rebuilding and revitalizing the Junior Curling and Adult Learn-to-Curl programs at the Summerside Curling Club have had a profound impact. His commitment to proper training, inclusive environment, and providing the right direction has led to significant growth in membership and active participation. Tim’s tireless efforts extend beyond these programs, as he also served as the club president, played a pivotal role in organizing the 2023 Canada Games, excelled as a competitive curler, and actively contributed to the betterment of the club as a whole. His passion for teaching and guiding others, combined with his willingness to volunteer in various capacities, make him a deserving recipient for recognition.
Another new award was the Contributor of Year and it was presented to the Crapaud Community Curling Club’s Board of Directors – Mike Forrest, Jamie Stride, Susan Hubley, Crystal Wood, Nadine Walsh, Jamie Newson, Miranda Ellis, Pam Owen and Brenda Graves.
(L-R): Nadine Walsh, Jamie Stride, Crystal Wood, Mike Forrest and Veronica Smith (Curl PEI Board Member)
The Crapaud Community Curling Club Board of Directors deserves recognition for their exceptional efforts in saving and revitalizing the club. Their dedication and volunteer work turned the club from the brink of closure to a vibrant and welcoming community facility. Their achievements include fully opening the club for the curling season, hosting major events such as the largest Cashspiel on PEI, the PEI Scotties and PEI Men’s Provincial, and a variety of other provincial competitions. Their leadership and commitment have played a crucial role in ensuring the club’s success and preventing the loss of another valuable curling facility on the Island.
(L-R): Jamie Stride, Crystal Wood, Nadine Walsh, Mike Forrest, Jane DiCarlo (Curl PEI President) and Veronica Smith (Curl PEI Board Member)
The Crapaud Community Curling Club Board of Directors showed such leadership and excitement within the curling community this past season they were also presented with the President’s Award.
