The 2025 PEI Seniors Curling Championships wrapped up at the Summerside Curling Club, with Team Shelly Bradley and Team Eddie MacKenzie claiming the provincial titles and earning the right to represent Prince Edward Island at the Everest Canadian Senior Curling Championships in December.

In the women’s event, Team Shelly Bradley dominated the best-of-five series, securing the championship in three straight games. Their consistent shot-making and strategic play proved too strong for Team London, who put up a strong effort but were unable to force a fourth game. 

On the men’s side, Team Eddie MacKenzie emerged victorious in a highly competitive triple knockout format. MacKenzie secured both the A and B qualifiers, while Team Rousseau claimed the C qualifier. This set up a potential two-game playoff on Sunday, with MacKenzie needing just one win to clinch the title. He wasted no time, winning the first game and securing the championship without the need for a second match. Team Rousseau battled hard throughout the event and finished as worthy finalists.

With their victories, Team Bradley and Team MacKenzie will now prepare to represent PEI on the national stage later this year. Congratulations to both teams on their outstanding performances!

The stage is set for an exciting playoff day at the 2025 PEI Junior Curling Championships at the West Prince Curling Club! After intense competition in the round-robin stages, the finalists are ready to battle for provincial glory and the opportunity to represent PEI at the 2025 New Holland Canadian Under-20 Curling Championships in Summerside.

Men’s Playoffs:
The men’s semi-final will see Team MacFadyen take on Team MacEwen at 10:00 AM. The winner will advance to face Team Dalton in the championship game at 2:30 PM. With all three teams showcasing incredible skill and determination throughout the tournament, the men’s playoffs promise to deliver thrilling curling action.

Women’s Playoffs:
On the women’s side, there will be no semi-final as Team Pater finished winless in the double round-robin. Team Carver will take on the undefeated Team Blades in the championship game at 2:30 PM. As Team Blades has yet to lose in the tournament, they will need to be defeated twice to relinquish their title. If Team Carver wins the first game, a second championship game will be played at 7:00 PM to determine the winner.

It is with heartfelt sadness that we announce the passing of Angela Dawn (Roberts) Smith, age 56 years at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital on Wednesday, October 23, 2024 surrounded by the love of her family.

Angela Dawn (Roberts) Smith
1968-2024

Angela leaves to mourn her dear mother, Mickey (Alice) (Hughes) Roberts; most beloved husband, Jamie Smith and cherished son, Clay Smith.

Angela will be profoundly missed by siblings; Wayne, Shane, Robbie, Kathy (Roy) Mutch, Lana (Jimmy) Trainor, Susie (Stephen) Faye and Billie (Kathie). She will also be fondly remembered as a loving daughter-in-law of Ernest and Rita Smith, sister-in-law of Les (Karen), Janice (Travis Wakelin) and Darren (Kara) as well as a wonderful aunt to her numerous nieces and nephews, grand nieces and nephews. Left to mourn her long time friendship are Anne Dillon and Karen Judson.

Predeceased by father, Francis Roberts, brother; Michael , and niece: Kaitlin.

Angela was a devoted mother and wife.  Her bright smile and infectious laugh could light up any room she was in.  She was an avid curler and was recently inducted into the PEI Curling Hall of Fame.  Her love of horses was lifelong; from being a Gold Cup and Saucer Ambassador to racing horses, breeding horses, and boarding horses with Jamie.  She loved nothing more than watching and photographing the mares and foals in the front pasture of home in Rocky Point.  Angela was a dedicated Educational Assistant with the Public Schools Branch, spending the last part of her thirty year career at East Wiltshire School. She was an active volunteer with Dreams Take Flight and Hospice PEI.

Her passing has left a void in the hearts of her family, friends, colleagues and students.  We ask that you remember her not for the way her life ended, but for the way it was lived and for the profound impact it had on the lives of those who had the pleasure of knowing her.

Resting at Hennessey Cutcliffe Charlottetown Funeral Home from where the funeral service will be held on Tuesday, October 29, 2024 in the Funeral Home Chapel at 3:00 p.m. Reception and fellowship to follow. No visiting hours by request. The service will be livestreamed.

In memory of Angela, memorial donations to  Hospice PEI would be appreciated.
