Krista McCarville, competing in her 12th Scotties Tournament of Hearts, aims to savor the experience as the event concludes in her hometown. Despite a challenging start, McCarville's Northern Ontario team is fighting to secure a playoff berth, but acknowledges the slim chances. McCarville reflects on the significance of hosting the Scotties in Thunder Bay and emphasizes the fleeting nature of such opportunities.
Whether or not the playoffs are in her future, the Northern Ontario skip says she just wants to enjoy what’s left of the week, likely the last time in her curling career the Scotties Tournament of Hearts will be held in her hometown.
“We still really want to win, badly. It’s still in the back of our minds about the games before that, but there’s nothing we can do about that,” McCarville said. Up 3-1 in the fifth, the Northern Ontario foursome added another deuce, McCarville left with an open hit for a 5-1 lead.They took a 6-3 lead in the seventh, then facing the real possibility of a big number from Weagle in the eighth, McCarville was able to freeze to a Nunavut stone and limited the damage to one.
While Northern Ontario is trying to claw its way into the Scotties playoffs, Alberta’s Kayla Skrlik gave her chances a big boost with perhaps the shot of the tournament, a double-raise takeout that netted her team five, breaking open a 2-2 en route to a 10-5 win over Saskatchewan’s Nancy Martin.
