# 2024 PEI Tankard

The 2024 PEI Tankard, the men's provincial curling championship for Prince Edward Island, was held from January 25 to 28 at the Summerside Curling Club in Summerside, Prince Edward Island. The event was held in conjunction with the 2024 Prince Edward Island Scotties Tournament of Hearts, the provincial women's championship.
The winning Tyler Smith rink represented Prince Edward Island at the 2024 Montana's Brier in Regina, Saskatchewan where they finished tied for third in Pool B with a 5–3 record. Smith and his rink almost became the first team from PEI to make the playoffs since Peter MacDonald in 1996, but PEI lost their final round robin game, a winner-take-all game against Jamie Koe's Northwest Territories rink in an extra end 9–8.
