In 1997, Lemay had a new team, consisting of Christian Cantin, Jonathan Hubert and Jean-Sébastien Roy. At the 1997 Canadian Junior Curling Championships, the team finished the round robin in a five-way tie for third place. They would be eliminated in their first tiebreaker 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. As of 2013, he has played in 11 Grand Slams; 6 with Charette (2005-2007), 4 with Ferland (2007-2009) and one as a skip (2012). The best Slam result to date for Lemay is a semi-final finish at the 2007 Players' Championships with Charette and a semi-final finish at the Dec. 2007 Canadian Open with Ferland.
