B.C. makes history by winning 3rd straight jr men’s curling nationals
Team B.C. skip Tyler Tardi and his rink of Sterling Middleton, Matthew Hall and Alex Horvath made history at the 2019 New Holland Canadian Junior Men’s Curling Championships Sunday at the Art Hauser Centre.
After defeating J.T Ryan and Team Manitoba 7-5, Tardi and B.C. won their third straight junior men’s national championship. As a team, that’s never been done before. They won in Victoria, B.C., in 2017, Shawinigan, Que., in 2018 and now Prince Albert, Sask., in 2019.
“It’s hard to pinpoint one that’s the most special,” Tardi said. “The first was unreal because it was the first time. The second, we got to tie some of the great junior curlers like John Morris and all them, and now to pass them, it’s just an unbelievable feeling.”
Tardi and Middleton have been around for all three of the championships. If the lifelong bond wasn’t already forged before then, it sure is now.
