Sebastien began curling when he was 6 and a half, in grade 2. He fell in love with the sport and never wanted to leave! Since the age of 12, he has competed in various provincial tournaments and cash spiels, either in Sydney or elsewhere in the province. If he can play... he will! In fact, he was on the ice for 31 straight days last season! This may or may not have been a mistake... He is happy to be helping out on the board this year and is always available to help out at the club, whether it be on or off the ice!
