## Career

### Youth

Doering's first major curling accomplishment was at the [2011 Canada Winter Games](/source/2011_Canada_Winter_Games), where he led his Manitoba rink of [Colton Lott](/source/Colton_Lott), Derek Oryniak, and Lucas Van Den Bosch to a bronze medal. The same rink won the Manitoba Junior Championship in 2012 and represented the province at the [2012 Canadian Junior Curling Championships](/source/2012_Canadian_Junior_Curling_Championships). At age 16, Doering was the youngest [skip](/source/Skip_(curling)) there.[3] He led his rink to a 9–3 round-robin record, putting them in a tiebreaker match against Nova Scotia's [Stuart Thompson](/source/Stuart_Thompson_(curler)). They beat Nova Scotia,[4] sending them to the semifinal against Northern Ontario, skipped by Brennan Wark, which they lost 7–3.[5] Doering skipped at the 2013 Manitoba Juniors as well, losing in the semifinal, and made it to the quarterfinals in 2014.

Doering skipped the [University of Winnipeg](/source/University_of_Winnipeg) rink at the [2015 CIS/CCA Curling Championships](/source/2015_CIS%2FCCA_Curling_Championships). He led his team of Ty Dilello, Oryniak, and [Rob Gordon](/source/Rob_Gordon_(curler)) to a 4–3 round-robin record. They then lost the semifinal against the [University of Alberta](/source/University_of_Alberta), skipped by [Thomas Scoffin](/source/Thomas_Scoffin).

Doering won a second Manitoba junior title in 2016 playing [second](/source/Second_(curling)) for [Matt Dunstone](/source/Matt_Dunstone). Representing Manitoba, the team, which also consisted of [Colton Lott](/source/Colton_Lott) and Gordon lost just one game at the [2016 Canadian Junior Curling Championships](/source/2016_Canadian_Junior_Curling_Championships) en route to a national title. The team then went on to represent Canada at the [2016 World Junior Curling Championships](/source/2016_World_Junior_Curling_Championships). There, the team lost two round-robin games, then lost the 3 vs. 4-page playoff game against Switzerland's [Yannick Schwaller](/source/Yannick_Schwaller). The team had a re-match against Switzerland in the bronze medal game, which they won. Off the curling rink, Doering and the team's alternate [Wade Ford](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wade_Ford&action=edit&redlink=1) ended up saving the life of a local Danish construction worker, after he was pinned under a backhoe-type machine. The two were walking from their hotel to the curling rink at the time, along with Doering's grandfather. Doering's grandfather, Ford, and a passer-by lifted the machine, while Doering pulled the worker out, thereby saving his life.[6]
