Four-time champion Kerri Einarson is back and in the hunt for title No. 5.
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:
In 2023, Team Einarson matched Colleen Jones’s mark of four consecutive titles achieved from 2001-04 for Nova Scotia and Team Canada. The final three for Einarson and Co. were as Team Canada. Karwacki will compete in her sixth Scotties Tournament of Hearts, with the previous four coming as an alternate. She finished second with Michelle Englot in 2017 and was the fifth on Einarson’s championship teams from 2021-23. At last year’s national championship, she played lead for Einarson.
“We’re all very, very excited to be Team Nunavut and getting to represent again at the national level,” Gustafson, who was the alternate for Nunavut’s team in 2023, appearing in two games, told the CBC. This will be Pinksen’s eighth trip to nationals, previously playing as vice-skip with Brigitte MacPhail in 2022 and 2023 and Lori Eddy in 2021. Pinksen had previously skipped her own teams to that and competed in eight Canadian Junior championships and a pair of national mixed championships in 2018 and 2019.
Skip St-Georges, vice-skip Jamie Sinclair , second Emily Riley and Weagle defeated Emilia Gagne 9-2 thanks to deuces in the first, fifth and seventh ends and single steals in the third and ninth clinched the provincial victory. Riley has been a member of St-Georges’ team for the last nine seasons, while Sinclair – who joined the team last year – was born in Alaska, but grew up in Manotick, Ontario and won gold at the 2007 Canada Winter Games before committing to represent the U.S. in 2014.
Weagle also competes in mixed doubles with teammate John Epping and the two finished third at the recent Canadian Mixed Doubles Trials. Team Manitoba Kate Cameron will make her second-straight appearance as a skip at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts, only with a twist to her Granite Curling Club rink from Winnipeg.
