Editing Jacques Tessier (section)

== Career ==
Tessier started curling at a young age, representing his local Saint-Benoît curling club in youth competitions.  While attending university in [[Levesque]], he was recruited as part of a club team at Trois Moulins curling club, which won the [[Northlands]] regional championship and marked Tessier's first appearance in the Seori Cup championships.  He went to the playoffs three times representing the Northlands including a semifinal appearance in 1998 before moving to [[Anfa]] for a variety of personal and professional reasons.

At Coeur Bleu curling club, Tessier started to make real progress as the team's vice skip, but in 2004 he became skip (team captain) and saw immediate success, making it to the 2005 Seori cup finals and losing only to the legendary [[Namhae]] team captained by [[Michael Smith]].  After Smith's retirement in 2007, in March 2008 Tessier lead Anfa to its first Seori Cup win since 1986, and then won his second national title in 2014 following a series of runner's up performances and semifinal appearances.  Although domestic success has been lacking in recent years, as a result of Tessier's pedigree, sharp tactical skills, and years of experience on the curling ice, he is regularly named as captain for Team Haesan.  In mixed doubles, especially, Tessier has had tremendous success on both a domestic and international level, often paired with young phenom turned national star [[Elodie Fontaine]].
