Kerri Einarson and teammates Val Sweeting, Shannon Birchard and Briane Harris are chasing a fourth straight Scotties title in Kamloops.Her team, which includes third Val Sweeting, second Shannon Birchard and lead Briane Harris, has been Canada’s best since February of 2020, when it won its first of three straight Scotties titles in Moose Jaw, Sask.
“It would definitely be a bonus,” Einarson said. “Of course, we want to defend our title and be up there with Colleen Jones, but for this week, we just want to go out and enjoy ourselves. That’s when we play our best, when we’re out there having fun, laughing and making some curling shots.”Article contentThis is surely the deepest field ever assembled for the Scotties, with at least 15 of the 18 teams looking capable of getting into the six-team playoffs.
Jennifer Jones, who has two world championships, two Olympic appearances and an Olympic gold medal on her sparkling resume, is now 48, but is part of one of the most youthful teams in the Scotties.Article content Others that could push for playoff spots include Clancy Grandy of B.C., wild card Meghan Walter of Manitoba, New Brunswick’s Andrea Kelly, Kerry Galusha of the Northwest Territories, Christina Black of Nova Scotia, Kayla Skrlik of Alberta, Marie Christianson of P.E.I., Robyn Silvernagle of Saskatchewan and Laurie St-Georges of Quebec.Article content
