Karsten Sturmay

Karsten Sturmay has competed in numerous curling championships, securing a silver medal at the Winter Universiade and achieving several wins on the World Curling Tour. After securing his first World Curling Tour event victory in 2016 at the inaugural Hokkaido Bank Curling Classic, Karsten Sturmay went on to establish a dominant presence in competitive curling. His early career saw him claim three provincial junior championships in 2015, 2016, and 2018. While playing on the World Curling Tour since 2013, Sturmay made significant strides in collegiate competition.

He reached the final of the 2016 CIS/CCA Curling Championships playing third for the University of Alberta, and again in 2017 at the U Sports/Curling Canada University Championship. A pivotal moment came in 2018 when Sturmay skipped his University of Alberta team to a U Sports/Curling Canada University Championship win, solidifying his leadership capabilities. Building on this momentum, Sturmay continued his success on the professional circuit. In 2018, he secured his second tour event victory at the Avonair Cash Spiel and earned a provincial mixed doubles title alongside Selena Sturmay.

The 2022–23 season proved particularly strong, highlighted by his team’s qualification for the 2023 Tim Hortons Brier as the third Wild Card entry. This achievement followed a series of impressive victories, including the 2022 Alberta Curling Tour Championship. During the same season, Team Sturmay also clinched titles at both the Ed Werenich Golden Wrench Classic and the McKee Homes Fall Curling Classic, further cementing his team’s consistent performance and high-level success on the circuit.
