They then went undefeated in winning the 2013 World Senior Curling Championships.[1]

Before winning the Alberta seniors in 2012, Armitage had never won a provincial championship of any kind, having never gotten by the likes of "Ed Lukowich, Pat Ryan, Kevin Martin, Randy Ferbey, (or) Kevin Koe in provincial men's play.[2]

Armitage last curled on the World Curling Tour in 2015-16. Armitage began curling on the Tour in 1999, starting out as a third for Lowell Peterman. Armitage skipped his own team from 2001, except for 4 events during the 2005-06 season where he played third for Chris Schille.
