The team of skip Tyler Tardi, third Sterling Middleton, second Jordan Tardi and lead Nicholas Meister 鈥� fresh off their victory last week in Victoria at the 2017 Canadian junior curling championships 鈥� are in the field for next week鈥檚 provincial championships in Abbotsford.
They are among the field of a dozen teams competing at the Abbotsford Curling Club from Feb. 8 to 12. The winner will represent B.C. at the 2017 Tim Hortons Brier.
