Five P.E.I. curling clubs will participate in the inaugural CanAm Cup of Curling this weekend, an event designed to foster fellowship and tradition between American and Canadian curlers.
This month, the United States team – led by captain Steve McKee – is in the four Atlantic provinces for over two weeks competing for the Lepping-Inch Trophy.
The five-team strong U.S. contingent departed Boston for Halifax on Nov. 8 and since arriving in Atlantic Canada, has played games in Halifax, Truro, New Glasgow and St. John’s prior to the P.E.I. leg of the tour. Action shifts next week to New Brunswick and concludes with additional games in N.S.
The U.S. contingent will compete against local host club teams at each stop. After seven draws to date, Canada leads the U.S.A. in the points standings, 156 to 122.
The ‘Bridge to Prince Edward Island’ section of the international tour launches Friday at 2 p.m. with four games at the Montague Curling Club and resumes Saturday at 9 a.m. in Cornwall. Action shifts Saturday afternoon to the Charlottetown Curling Club at 2 p.m.
Sunday’s final day of action on the Island begins at 9 a.m. in Crapaud and concludes at 2 p.m. at the Silver Fox Curling Club in Summerside. Curlers will be guests at banquets in Montague, Charlottetown and Summerside.
Opening draw is at 11:30 am on Friday in the 13th annual Fall Fling Junior Cashspiel, sponsored by Quality Inn, with a full draw of 12 junior women’s and an equal number of junior men’s teams, from all four Atlantic Provinces, competing at the Silver Fox in Summerside. The junior men’s and women’s round-robin draws, with teams divided into two pools, will be done Friday, prior to event start. Live end-by-end results will be available at PEICurling.com. All round-robin draws on Friday and Saturday are eight ends, while the semi-finals at 9 am Sunday and the finals at 1 pm are ten ends. Round robin draw times are at 11:30 am, and 2, 5 and 7:30 pm on Friday, and at 8 and 10:30 am, plus 1, 4, 6:30 and 9 pm on Saturday.
Three members of last year’s winning junior women’s team from Cornwall, now skipped by Katie Shaw, are back this year, along with the runner-up Kate Paterson squad from Saint John. Neither the winning Tyler Smith rink from Charlottetown nor the runner-up Ethan Young foursome from the Mayflower Curling Club in Halifax are back, so there will be a new Junior Men’s winners’ circle.
Here are the team rosters (skip to lead, coach, club):
Emily Neary, Victoria Snow, Charlotte Belbin, Victoria French, Coach Jeannette Hodder (Remax Centre, St. John’s NL)
Here is the games schedule. Teams will be assigned to their respective draw slot numbers after a draw is held on Friday morning. Junior men’s round-robin games are in light blue, junior women’s are in yellow.
The Charlottetown Curling Club is inviting you to try curling on-ice on Saturday Nov. 16 from 10:30 to 11:30 am. This “introduction to curling” session is FREE and is for both children (ages 8 and up) and parents/guardians.
There was a great turnout on Wednesday evening at the Cornwall Curling Club for Curl PEI’s first Junior Development Clinic of the season, for coaches and players of teams in the age 16-20 category.

The inaugural CanAm Cup of Curling kicks off this month, and PEI will be part of it. In 2017 at the World Men’s Curling Championships in Las Vegas, Peter Inch of Curling Canada and Rich Lepping, chair of the US Curling Association, met for the first time, and charted a path leading to the first Canam Cup of Curling tour, designed to foster fellowship and tradition between American and Canadian curlers. The tour will alternate between the two countries every five years, with Canada acting as the first host.
This month the United States team—led by Captain Steve McKee— will take to the four Atlantic Provinces and, for almost three weeks, play for the Lepping-Inch Trophy. Also known as the Chairman’s Cup, the trophy was donated by the chairmen of the respective curling associations. The trophy is an antique George V English sterling silver presentation bowl dating from 1919. Valued at $10,000 US, it will travel between the two countries and be engraved with the winning team’s name and country.
Here is the PEI Itinerary. You are invited to come out to the respective curling clubs and watch the action!

Curling (on Tuesdays) got underway on November 5 at the Souris Curling Club, which uses the ice surface at the Eastern Kings Sportsplex. If you are interested but haven’t registered yet, there are still spaces available. They also welcome non-members to join them at a “walk-on” cost of $15 for adults and $10 for students.

Ice surface preparations require shaving and pebbling the ice multiple times prior to curling. This process takes 6 – 8 hours each week, done by volunteer curlers. They are in need of a new Ice Scaper/Shaver. The cost of this piece of equipment is approx. $16,000.00. This equipment is necessary to convert the ice from arena ice to curling ice.
They are requesting their members and other interested individuals and companies to donate money to help purchase this necessary piece of equipment in order for the Souris Curling Club to continue with the sport. They are exploring options to provide tax receipts, and are hoping to raise enough money to purchase this necessary equipment prior to Christmas.
They are planning to make a donor wall to recognize all who donate.
BRONZE – Up to $250.00
SILVER – $251.00 – $499.00
GOLD – $500.00 and up
If you can help, contact the Souris Curling Club on Facebook or call (902) 687-2323.

PICTOU COUNTY, N.S. — Call it a tre kronor as Anna Hasselborg and her squad from Sundbyberg, Sweden, captured their third Pinty’s Grand Slam of Curling title.
Anna Hasselborg, Sara McManus, Agnes Knochenhauer and Sofia Mabergs celebrate with the Tour Challenge trophy on Nov. 10, 2019, in Pictou County, N.S. (Anil Mungal)
The reigning Olympic gold medallists took home the KIOTI Tractor Tour Challenge Tier 1 women’s championship with an 8-5 victory over Team Kerri Einarson of Gimli, Man., in Sunday’s final.
Hasselborg, third Sara McManus, second Agnes Knochenhauer and lead Sofia Mabergs collected $30,000, 12 Pinty’s Cup points plus a berth in the season-ending Humpty’s Champions Cup.
“It feels amazing,” said Hasselborg, who won her first couple GSOC titles back-to-back last season at the Elite 10 and Masters. “We’ve been playing a lot of close games this week, but I think we’ve had the learning mode being better for all of the games every time.
PICTOU COUNTY, N.S. — The latest episode of the “Battle of the Brads” exceeded expectations with a thrilling showdown in the KIOTI Tractor Tour Challenge Tier 1 men’s final.
In the end though it was Team Brad Jacobs of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., who emerged victorious 6-4 over Team Brad Gushue of St. John’s, N.L., to successfully defend the championship.
Ryan Harnden, E.J. Harnden, Marc Kennedy and Brad Jacobs celebrate with the Tour Challenge trophy on Nov. 10, 2019 in Pictou County, N.S. (Anil Mungal)
Jacobs’s fifth GSOC title netted his squad $30,000, 12 Pinty’s Cup points and a berth into the season-ending Humpty’s Champions Cup.
Things are a little different this time around as Jacobs, second E.J. Harnden and lead Ryan Harnden are now joined by third Marc Kennedy. After parting ways with Ryan Fry over the off-season, the 2014 Olympic gold medallist Jacobs added the 2010 Winter Games champion Kennedy to his roster.
“It feels great,” Jacobs said. “I’d say we battled hard all week. We were a very resilient group. I’m really proud of Ryan, E.J. and Marc for hanging in there and just never giving up and always having faith and belief that we would somehow get the job done. They stuck behind me all week and that’s huge as a skip. They never lost faith in me even when I missed a few shots or whatever. I’m just really proud of the guys.
“It’s super cool to defend a Grand Slam title. We feel really grateful to be able to play this sport at this level and be out here entertaining people and playing on TV. We just love it. Hopefully, there’s lots more to come from our team. We’re just having a lot of fun, we enjoy one another’s company and we’re excited to step onto the ice every game.”
The South Korean Men’s Curling team, skipped by Chang-Min Kim, backed by third Ki Jeong Lee, second Hak Kyun Kim and lead Ki Bok Lee, and coached by Charlottetown PEI’s Peter Gallant, went undefeated to capture the 2019 Pacific-Asia Curling Championships (PACC) men’s title in Shenzhen China on Saturday, securing their ticket for the LGT World Men’s Curling Championship 2020 in Glasgow, Scotland from 28 March-5 April. They downed defending PACC champion Japan by an 11-2 score, in eight ends, finishing with an undefeated 11 win record. Men’s teams from Australia, China, Chinese Taipei, Hong Kong, Japan, Kazakhstan, Korea, New Zealand, Nigeria,and Qatar were competing in the PACC.

Men’s medal results: Korea 11-2 Japan (gold); China 9-4 New Zealand (bronze)
Meanwhile, China sealed the women’s crown with a 10-3 win over Japan in another one-sided final, needing only eight ends to secure the title and become the first rink from that nation to take gold in the women’s event since 2014. Both China and Japan are now guaranteed places at the World Women’s Curling Championship 2020 to be held in Prince George, BC between March 14 and 22.
The South Korean women won bronze, after the team, skipped by Un Chi Gim, and made up of third Min Ji Um, second Su Ji Kim, lead Ye Eun Seol and alternate Ye Ji Seol, beat Hong Kong, 13-2, in Friday night’s Bronze Medal game. The Korean and Hong Kong women will have second chances for world qualification, with an offer to compete in the World Qualification Event 2020. That competition will be held in Lohja, Finland, from 13 to 18 January.
League play starts this (Sunday) evening at the Charlottetown Curling Club, with the Commercial League at 6 pm, followed by the Daytime League on Tuesday and Thursday at 1 pm, the Semi-Competitive League on Wed. at 6 pm, and Anything Goes at 6 pm on Thursday.
