The defending champion Rachel Homan rink of Ottawa will once again be among the favourites, but so too will Nova Scotia's Christina Black, whose team includes Thunder Bay's Karlee Everist.
THUNDER BAY -- The 2025 Scotties Tournament of Hearts is slated for Feb. 14-23 at the Fort William Gardens in Thunder Bay, Ont. Eighteen women’s teams will compete in the national curling championship. Meet the teams:
The four team members have 36 Scotties appearances between them with Miskew leading the way with 11, one more than Homan who missed the 2022 Scotties due to her mixed doubles appearance with John Morris at the Winter Olympics. Wilkes has eight appearances at nationals and Fleury has competed in seven, finally winning her first Scotties crown last season.
Wilkes has two runner-up finishes at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts, as an alternate in 2015 with skip Val Sweeting and in 2021 with Homan. Team Yukon Bayly Scoffin will make her second-straight appearance at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts, but with a lineup change. She is joined by vice-skip Raelyn Helston , second Kerry Foster and new lead Bailey Horte.
Foster will compete in her fourth-straight Scotties, having previously played second with Hailey Birnie. She also competed in the 1996 New Holland U21 Canadian championship and 1995 Canada Winter Games. Team Nova Scotia After losing a tight battle to Heather Smith in 2024, Christina Black will make a return to the Scotties Tournament of Hearts after completing an undefeated run at the seven-team Nova Scotia championship.
Thunder Bay's Everist will compete in her third Scotties Tournament of Hearts, all with Team Black. The foursome tasted some success in 2023 in Kamloops, finishing 5-3 in the round robin, qualifying for a tiebreaker where it stole in an extra end to upset the Team Kaitlyn Lawes’ Wild Card rink.
