Career
As a junior, Casey played in Prince Edward Island as the third on the Brett Gallant junior men's team. As a member of the team, Casey won 5 straight provincial junior championships from 2006 to 2010 inclusively. In 2007, they won a bronze medal at the Canada Winter Games. The team won the 2009 Canadian Junior Curling Championships and won a silver medal at the 2009 World Junior Curling Championships.
After juniors in 2010, Casey moved to Nova Scotia to play third for the Chris Sutherland rink. The team made it to the 2011 Nova Scotia Men's Molson Provincial Championship, but they were eliminated before the playoffs.
After the season, it was announced that Casey would join the Newfoundland-based Brad Gushue rink, as the team's second. The team easily won the 2012 Newfoundland and Labrador Tankard, giving Casey the trip to his first Brier. While playing for Gushue in Newfoundland, Casey continued his Industrial Engineering studies at Dalhousie University in Halifax, completing his work by correspondence.[3]
He left the Gushue rink in 2014 to form his own rink, consisting of third Josh Barry, second Anson Carmody, and lead Robbie Doherty.
