ESTEVAN – Twelve young curlers from the Estevan area are spending the SaskTel Tankard shadowing the top men’s curling teams in Saskatchewan through the Junior Stars program.

The Junior Stars are honorary members for their respective teams. The youths were part of the opening ceremonies, accompanying their teams on the ice and holding the sign with the team name. The Junior Stars also get to spend time with their respective teams during the tournament and received commemorative merchandise.

Young curlers selected for the Tankard are Heidi Fradette (joining Daymond Bernath’s team), Liam Knowles (Michael Carss), Oliva Marsch (Logan Ede), Malina Stead (Colton Flasch), Braydon Ludtke (Kody Hartung), Emma Marsch (Joshua Heidt), Sophia Murphy (Jason Jacobson), Amy Fradette (Dustin Kalthoff), Braxton Fleck (Rylan Kleiter), Kane Massier (Kelly Knapp), Kristen Carlson (Steve Laycock), and Andy Fradette (Dallan Muyres).

The teams benefit from participating in Junior Stars because they can see the joy for the sport among the youths.

The Junior Stars program has been part of marquee curling events in Estevan in the past.

The Tankard is running from Feb. 1-5 at Affinity Place.
