At the Canadian Junior Championships that year, the team finished the round robin in a five-way tie for third place. They would be eliminated in their first tie-breaker game however, against the Yukon's Wyatt Redlin.

Following Juniors, Lemay played for such acommplished curlers as Pierre Charette and Martin Ferland. He began skipping his own team on the World Curling Tour in 2011.
