Eyebrows raised when one of the most decorated skips in Canada handed another woman the broom ahead of this season.
Northern Ontario's Krista McCarville, Northwest Territories' Kerry Galusha and Casey Scheidegger's wild-card 2 team joined Ontario at 1-0 with afternoon victories. With front-end player Joanne Courtney taking a breather from curling, Homan recruited Fleury to call shots and throw third stones, and shifted longtime vice Emma Miskew to second."We knew Tracy was the whole package," Homan said. "Amazing attitude, amazing shooter, she's got big-weight accuracy. She can make soft-weight shots.
"Focusing on different areas and challenging yourself in different ways has been a really fun transition."
