Joe Doyle was an athlete and a manager. He played defence for the Cardinal Redbirds in the early 40’s and helped them win the Eastern Ontario Championship and the Citizen Shield as a manager of the Prescott Jr. “B” Saints in the 50’s. He would win another Citizen Shield.

Joe also managed a travelling softball team named Doyle’s Dearies in the 50’s. For 50 years, his main love has & been curling. He has been a member of the Prescott Curling Club for over 50 years. In 2000, he received a lifetime curling membership from the club. In 1985, he won the Legion District Curling Championship, curling with Tracey Delaney, Frank Jenkinson and Bob Burford. He would then compete in the Provincial Curling Championship in Guelph, compiling a 4-5 record. A modest man, Joe doesn’t think he did anything except “keep things together,” but that’s what makes a great manager and this is Joe Doyle.
