They香蕉视频直播檙e in a league of their own.

A young Langley-based curling team 香蕉视频直播� headed up by skip Tyler Tardi and vice-skip Sterling Middleton 香蕉视频直播� has etched its name in the record book today.

The duo won their third New Holland Canadian Junior title in a row 香蕉视频直播� a feat never before accomplished.

香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 unreal the fact that this has only been done twice before and how this is such a rare feat,香蕉视频直播� Tardi said of his accomplishment with Middleton. 香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 an incredible feeling and to be doing it with one of my best friends is extra special.香蕉视频直播�

The British Columbia team is made up of Tardi (a Cloverdale skip who plays out of the Langley Curling Centre), Middleton (the third who hails from Fort. St. John, and curls out of New Westminster), Matthew Hall (second, who lives in Cloverdale but also plays out of the Langley rink), and Alex Horvath (the lead who plays out of Victoria). The coach is Tyler香蕉视频直播檚 father, Paul.

Manitoba was the only team, who in the week leading up to the finals, was actually able to beat British Columbia. But Manitoba couldn香蕉视频直播檛 do it a second time.

When it came to the gold-medal round today (Sunday) at the Art Hauser Centre in Prince Albert, Sask., Tardi and his team triumphed over J.T. Ryan香蕉视频直播檚 Manitoba team by the score of 7-5.

Team BC opened the scoring in the second end with an angle raise takeout for three.

But Manitoba香蕉视频直播檚 Ryan took control of the middle portion of the game. Ryan, vice-skip Jacques Gauthier (Tardi香蕉视频直播檚 cousin), second Jordan Peters, lead Cole Chandler and coach John Lund scored two in the fourth and followed it with a steal of two in the fifth to lead by one point heading into the fifth-end break.

香蕉视频直播淲e香蕉视频直播檙e no stranger to giving up threes early. If you香蕉视频直播檙e going to give up a three you want to give it up in the second end. We know we香蕉视频直播檝e been resilient all week and we knew if we could string some shots together we could battle back and that香蕉视频直播檚 what we did,香蕉视频直播� Ryan said.

But British Columbia took control in the latter part of the game with a deuce in the eighth and a steal of one in the ninth end to lead 6-5. Manitoba had hammer in the final end, but over-swept its final attempt, causing the stone clip off another and give up a steal of one.

香蕉视频直播淭hey played unreal and we played one of our best games I香蕉视频直播檇 say we ever played together too. It just wasn香蕉视频直播檛 enough. It was an inch here or there,香蕉视频直播� Ryan said.

With today香蕉视频直播檚 win, Tardi and Middleton surpass the likes of John Morris, Craig Savill and Brent Laing 香蕉视频直播� among others 香蕉视频直播� who have all won back-to-back titles, but never a third.

Tardi and Middleton won their first New Holland Canadian Juniors title in 2017 in Victoria against their current second Hall, who was representing Ontario at the time.

香蕉视频直播淚t was very emotional to see him kind of go crazy there,香蕉视频直播� Middleton said of his second香蕉视频直播檚 reaction to winning the national title. 香蕉视频直播淭hat香蕉视频直播檚 how we all felt on our first one and I香蕉视频直播檓 really excited he was on the right side of that one this time, because there香蕉视频直播檚 no worse feeling than losing a big game like that.香蕉视频直播�

The pair returned as part of the British Columbia team in Shawinigan, Que., in 2018 and defeated Northern Ontario香蕉视频直播檚 Tanner Horgan in the final. While all three victories were sweet, Tardi believes they all hold a part in his memory for distinct reasons.

香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 hard to pinpoint one that香蕉视频直播檚 most special,香蕉视频直播� he said.

香蕉视频直播淭he first is unreal just because it香蕉视频直播檚 the first time. Second we got to tie the record with some of the great junior curlers like John Morris and now to pass them is just an unbelievable feeling.香蕉视频直播�

The team will represent Canada at the 2019 World Junior Curling Championships in Liverpool, N.S. from Feb. 16 to 23.
