Medal record

Erin Carmody (born August 4, 1988) is a Canadian curler, originally from Prince Edward Island but residing in Halifax, Nova Scotia, as of 2019.[1] She currently plays second on Team Sylvie Quillian. A native of the city of Summerside, Carmody was a biology student at the University of Prince Edward Island when she broke onto the curling scene by winning three consecutive provincial junior championships, twice with an undefeated record. She entered the national scene in 2010 after forming a rink with longtime teammate Geri-Lynn Ramsay and veteran curlers Kathy O'Rourke and Tricia Affleck that captured the 2010 provincial championships at the senior level. At the 2010 Scotties Tournament of Hearts, the squad made it all the way to the final but lost in the last match to three-time tournament champion Jennifer Jones. After the event, Carmody was presented with the Sandra Schmirler Most Valuable Player Award.
Personal life
Carmody was born on August 4, 1988, in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island[2] and she has a younger brother, Anson, who also curls competitively. In 2006, she entered the University of Prince Edward Island to study biology[3] and, in 2009, won the school's Robert Haines Memorial Science Award of Merit.[4] She is also athletically active outside of curling and was the fastest woman a five kilometre charity race in her hometown for the Prince County Hospital, finishing fourth overall among the sixty-one competitors.[5]
In the fall of 2011 Carmody began further studies at the University of Calgary.[6] In 2019, Carmody was a student at Mount Saint Vincent University.[7] As of 2021, she works as a research assistant with GI Research IWK Health and a clinical dietitian with IWK Health.[8]

2007–2009
Carmody made her breakthrough in 2007 when her rink, consisting of herself as skip, Lisa Moerike as second, Ramsay as third, and Jessica van Ouwerkerk as lead stone (a lineup that had participated in several cashpiels the previous year), captured the 2007 provincial junior curling championships with a perfect 7–0 record.[18] They then advanced to the 2007 Canadian Junior Curling Championships, where they finished eighth out of thirteen teams.[19] The squad took the provincial junior championships for a second time in 2008 and repeated their feat of a perfect record,[20] before placing ninth out of thirteen at the 2008 Canadian Junior Curling Championships.[19] Later that year the rink took the 2008 Codiac Curling Maritime Junior Bonspiel in the Under-21 category.[21] In 2009 Moerike was replaced with Darcee Birch, but Carmody's rink won the provincial junior championship for the third consecutive time.[22] The squad had their best national finish at the 2009 Canadian Junior Curling Championships when they placed fourth, narrowly missing a spot in the semifinals.[19]
2009–2011
In 2009 Carmody and Ramsay received a call from veteran curlers
As of 2012, Carmody's most recent provincial win in Prince Edward Island came at the 2011 Prince Edward Island Mixed Curling Championships. Playing third for Brett Gallant, along with her brother Anson Carmody at second and lead Michelle Mackie, her rink defeated defending national champion Robert Campbell's squad 5–4.[26] At the 2012 Canadian Mixed Curling Championship, Gallant's team finished the round robin with an 8–5 record and did not advance to the semi-final.[27]
2011–2013
For the 2011-2012 curling season Carmody, along with Geri-Lynn Ramsay, played with Calgary skip Crystal Webster. Carmody began attending the University of Calgary and Ramsay decided to make the move to Calgary when her boyfriend was offered a new job opportunity. Webster was looking for new teammates, as her third Lori Olson-Johns switched rinks to curl with Cheryl Bernard.[6] During the 2011 tour season the rink won one event and placed second in another, earning automatic entry into the 2012 Alberta Scotties Tournament of Hearts after placing first with Alberta Curling Tour points.[28] They made it to the semi-final of the event with a 4–2 record before losing to Heather Nedohin, the eventual winner.[29] The team had less success the next season, winning just one game at the 2013 Alberta Scotties Tournament of Hearts.[30] The team also played in the 2012 Canada Cup of Curling, going 3-3 and missing the playoffs.[31]
