Krista McCarville's curling team faces intense pressure at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts in Thunder Bay, Ont., where she aims for her first championship victory in front of a hometown crowd.
Her face plastered on billboards in her hometown of Thunder Bay, Ont., turned up the heat on Krista McCarville's curling team this winter.
McCarville, who will make her 12th career Hearts appearance, reached the 2022 final in Thunder Bay where her team fell 9-6 to Kerri Einarson. McCarville, third Andrea Kelly and a front-end rotation of Ashley Sippala, Kendra Lilly and Sarah Potts open Friday against Saskatchewan's Nancy Martin. The victors also claim $100,000 in prize money, and a berth in November's Olympic curling trials in Halifax, as long as that team finishes in the top six at the world championship.
