Erin Carmody (born August 4, 1988) is a Canadian curler, originally from Prince Edward Island but residing in Halifax, Nova Scotia, as of 2019.
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.
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.
[17] 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.
[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.
[23] There they finished 8–3 in the round robin and eventually advanced to the final,[24] where they lost against Jennifer Jones, who represented Team Canada as the competition's previous winner.
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.
