1 2018 Scotties TOURNAMENT OF HEARTS Experience, youth clash as new era begins with expanded field for Scotties

2 2 Saturday, January 27, 2018 HEARTCHART curling.ca/2018scotties 2018 Scotties TOURNAMENT OF HEARTS Michelle Englot (second from right) will represent Canada at this year s event. Format change sure to liven things up at Scotties It s a whole new By DAVE KOMOSKY HeartChart Editor The Scotties Tournament of Hearts opens today at the South Okanagan Events Centre, and to borrow a time-tested wedding tradition, it s all about something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue. How s that? Well, there certainly is old or to be more politically correct, experience at this year s gathering of the top provincial/territorial women s teams. That experience comes in the form of Saskatchewan s Sherry Anderson and Canada s Michelle Englot, both skips and both 54. Not far behind them is five-time Canadian and two-time world champion Mary-Anne Arsenault who will be skipping Nova Scotia s entry at age 49. It s been a while since the Scotties had three super-experienced skips in the field, but they are recognizable names and sure to draw interest. And new? That s easy. The Scotties takes a whole new direction this year as the field has expanded to 16 teams, split into two eight-team pools, and will include all three northern regions Nunavut, Northwest Territories and Yukon in addition to a wild card team, which will be Kerri Einarson of East St. Paul, Man.

3 curling.ca/2018scotties HEARTCHART Saturday, January 27, Scotties TOURNAMENT OF HEARTS Defending Olympic champion Jennifer Jones, who is here skipping Manitoba s entry for the eighth time, needed to borrow something to fill out her team this year. Jones was left a gaping hole in her lineup after third Kaitlyn Lawes won the right to represent Canada in mixed doubles in Pyeongchang, South Korea, which made her unavailable for the Scotties. So right after winning her provincial title in Killarney, Man., Jones recruited Shannon Birchard, a top skip in her own right, to fill in for this week only. And blue is the team colours of the home province, worn by Kesa Van Osch, who will be under the spotlight this week, trying to bring a Canadian title back to the province that once was a national powerhouse in women s curling but has slipped badly lately. So put it altogether and it shapes up to be a pretty interesting week that is sure to entertain the locals and a national TV audience on TSN. Englot wears Canada colours this week in place of Ottawa s Rachel Homan, who won last year in St. Catharines, Ont. Homan s women s team won the right to represent Canada at the Olympics, making her unavailable to defend her crown in Penticton. Englot, who finished second to her, slides into that role. Englot, who is retiring from competitive curling after this season, said age is not a factor. I ve worked hard, on and off the ice, I don t feel old. I ve still got good hips and knees, so it s all good, said Englot, who has skipped at eight previous Scotties, seven out of Saskatchewan and in 2017 with Manitoba. The field has a liberal sprinking of youth, too, with teams that are destined to eventually wrestle the game away from the hands of people like Englot, Anderson and Jones. Highly regarded among them are Alberta s entry skipped by Casey Scheidegger and Ontario s Hollie Duncan. Both are serious contenders for the crown if they get on a roll. Scheidegger knocked off both former Olympic bronze medallist Shannon Kleibrink and 2016 Canadian champion Chelsea Carey to get here, and flexed a few muscles at the Tim Hortons Roar of the Rings Trials in Ottawa before finally hitting the wall. Duncan, meanwhile, survived a tough field in Ontario to get this far with a new team. The field also has 18-year-old Quebec skip Émilia Gagné, who is barely out of juniors, looking to gain some valuable experience. It will be a different race to the finish line this year. Gone is the familiar playoff format involving the top four teams from the round-robin scrapping over the title. This year, four teams from each eight-team pool will advance to the championship pool where four more teams will be kicked to the curb. Then it s on to the more familiar Page Playoff System. Not everybody is a fan of the new system. I m trying to be open-minded and give it a chance, said Manitoba second Jill Officer. Maybe you should ask me that at the end of the week. It s going to be confusing for people at home especially after the first round. I m not a super fan but at least we re trying different things. So with no Homan in the field, there is no clear-cut favourite for the title. Provincial coach and Curl BC high performance director national coach consultant Melissa Soligo of Victoria received the Joan Mead Builder s Award Friday. It recognizes the contributions of someone other than a curler to the advancement of the sport. Mead was a curling producer for CBC until her sudden death. She was instrumental in many of the changes in television coverage. Soligo, a former world women s silver medallist playing second for Julie Sutton in 1991, has been coaching since 1992 when an accident put a premature end to her curling career. She has coached teams, at national and international levels, including provincial and national wheelchair squads. Jones is back looking for her sixth Canadian title but she ll have to do it without Lawes and a new face in the lineup. That s asking a lot. Einarson will be another bona fide team in the mix. The 2016 Manitoba champ knocked off Carey in Friday s wild card game to make the grade. They were the top two teams in the Canadian Ranking System who didn t qualify out of their provincial/territorial championship.

4 4 Saturday, January 27, 2018 HEARTCHART curling.ca/2018scotties Let s give change a chance Curling has never been afraid to change. True, for many years the game plodded along with nothing more than a tweak here and a tweak there, but there s no doubt, in time, the game s decision-makers accepted that major changes were a necessity especially at major events if the game was to be taken seriously. The end of 12-end games. Playoffs. Umpires. Mixed doubles. Sweeping rules. The people who have run the sport have shaken up one tradition after another over the years. So what s happening this season should come as no surprise. Curling Canada ventures into new territory with the introduction of a revamped structure for both the Scotties Tournament of Hearts here this week, and the Tim Hortons Brier next month in Regina. Gone is the familiar round-robin format involving all teams that served so well for decades. It, too, underwent revisions over the years, but nothing like what Canadian curling fans will see at Curling Canada s two signature events. What curling fans will see at the Scotties and Brier is an expansion of teams from 12 to 16, the splitting of the field into two pools, a wild card team and a revamped playoff system. The end result will still see the best teams winning, so in that sense, the new system still works. But that hasn t stopped some of the howls of protest from some people who claim it s bad for the game because it introduces inferior teams, and bogs down the whole system. Is any system perfect? Hardly. That s why major professional sports are constantly changing systems to fit the times. And they ll make other modifications in the future. «DAVE KOMOSKY That Curling Canada (formerly the Canadian Curling Association) has tweaked or overhauled its Scotties and Brier structure several times over the years proves no system is perfect, and that there is bound to be another modification down the road. But based on an open-minded approach exhibited by Curling Canada, this one seems about right for the times. Is it bad for the game? Well, if opening the door to teams from other regions of the country is bad, then perhaps it is. But look on the bright side. Curling in those regions may get a big boost, knowing they have a chance to compete in a Canadian championship. It may give them the impetus to work harder, train harder and raise the level of their games. Critics point out that the new format begs for mismatches. Will there be blowouts.at the Scotties and Brier? No doubt. But that s the cost of doing business when you re trying to make the game inclusive. And when haven t there been mismatches in sports. The Cleveland Browns of the NFL just went a whole season without winning a game. Quebec skip Emilia Gagné will be playing in the new-look Scotties. There s also the argument from critics that teams from the north have a six-lane expressway into the Scotties, and gilt-edged teams from the have provinces have to fight and scratch to get there and don t always make it. Funny, nobody seems to raise that argument at the worlds when the same teams keep showing up hello there Niklas Edin and Thomas Ulsrud because there s nobody back at home to challenge them. They re there because they are the best in their country, and that should be good enough until we start changing borders. The new format is worth a look. It s quite easy to say you stand for things and quite another to actually get them accomplished, but Curling Canada has done that this time by shaking things up. Change can be good, and with 14 teams representing all of Canada, a Canada and a wild card team, the Scotties is sure to be compelling, just as always. It s a big change but let s give it a chance.

5 curling.ca/2018scotties HEARTCHART Saturday, January 27, PREDICTIONS/PREVIEW 1 jennifer jones St. Vital Curling Club, Winnipeg Like the birds coming back to Capistrano, Jones and her crack outfit from Winnipeg are back at the Scotties where Jones will be looking for her record-tying sixth Canadian title. Her big goal this year was to win the Tim Hortons Roar of the Rings and return to the Olympics, but with that out of her grasp, she refocused and won her eighth Buffalo jacket. The trouble is she doesn t have regular third Kaitlyn Lawes who is off to the Olympics after winning the Trials mixed doubles crown. Breaking in a new third this late at this level will be tough but, Jones being Jones, she ll probably find a way to make it to the final. TOP 4 2 casey scheidegger Grande Prairie Curling Club There a new breed of top teams these days, and Scheidegger is one of them. And it s no surprise it s an Alberta team, a province where the competition is fierce. Scheidegger knocked off former Canadian champ Chelsea Carey and 2006 Olympian Shannon Kleibrink in the Alberta playdowns, which tells you this team can play with the best of them. Scheidegger s Lethbridge team has also performed well at the Trials, so this could be their year. It s their first Scotties, so there s bound to be butterflies, but they will be fine. 3 kerri einarson East St. Paul Curling Club, Winnipeg She just knocked off one of the best teams in the country to get into the final 16, so what s not to like? Einarson won the wild card game Friday night against Calgary s Chelsea Carey, the 2016 Canadian champion, and it was only a mild surprise because the plucky Manitobans up East St. Paul way are pretty good. In fact, they re more than good. They ve beaten just about every big name in the country at some point, so she s has earned her spurs. Can she make the next leap and win this thing? There s no reason why not, but she ll need to be at her very best. 4 tracy fleury Sudbury Curling Club There are so many teams here that can fill this spot, but something says Fleury will be there simply because she has been to the Scotties before, performed well, and is coming out of a very tough region where she had to knock off some tough customers, including Krista McCarville. Fleury has skipped her team to the Scotties twice, representing two different regions. Her first appearance at the national women s curling championship was as Ontario in 2012 after stunning defending champ Rachel Homan in the provincial final. BIG QUESTIONS ENGLOT The Scotties Tournament of Hearts is always one of the best curling events of the year, and it should be again. Here are some questions that loom as this year s Scotties starts: WOE CANADA: Michelle Englot will wear Canada colours this week, stepping in for Rachel Homan who is Olympics bound. Englot struggled mightily at the recent Continental Cup, but she bounced back at the Canadian Open last weekend. Does she have her old mojo back? Here s hoping she does because the Scotties needs a strong Canada. SWEET 16: The field has expanded to 16 teams this year, including a wild card team, so you ll probably need a program to keep up. Will fans accept the new format and like it? No reason why they shouldn t. It s still the Scotties. WILD CARD: The wild card spot was claimed Friday night, and it was always going to provide another good team. Will the win help kickstart the week into something really good? EXPERIENCE MATTERS: There s a lot of experience in the field, led by Nova Scotia s Mary- Anne Arsenault, who is a five-time Canadian and two-time world champion. Can she turn back the clock and challenge for another Canadian title? Probably not, but she s gonna try!

6 6 Saturday, January 27, 2018 HEARTCHART curling.ca/2018scotties WILD CARD GAME A buffalo stampede at Scotties Einarson joins Jones, Englot as Manitobans in 16-team field By GRANT GRANGER Heart Chart Editor Be warned there will be plenty of Manitoba buffalo roaming the ice of the South Okanagan Events Centre for the next week or so with a late report of four more wild, errr make that wild-card, bison making an appearance. The team skipped by Kerri Einarson from East St. Paul, Man., upset Chelsea Carey of Calgary 7-4 Friday in a one-game playoff for the wild-card berth into the 2018 Scotties Tournament of Hearts Canadian women s curling championship. It was the first wild-card game played under Curling Canada s new 16-team format. The teams were invited to play the game as the top two teams in Curling Canada s Canadian Ranking System that didn t win a provincial title. That was almost the most nerve wracking (game she s ever played), said Einarson. It s do or die, you re in or you re out so we were definitely nervous. But nerves are good. If you re not nervous you re not ready. We re super, super excited. Einarson s victory means three teams from Manitoba, where curling champions wear buffaloes on their backs, will compete at the 2018 Scotties. Einarson, third Selena Katz, second Liz Fyfe and lead Kristan MacCuish join two Winnipeg based teams Manitoba champion Jennifer Jones and Canada skipped by Michelle Englot, who as runner-up at the 2017 Scotties replaces Olympic-bound Rachel Homan s Ottawa-based rink as Canada. Continued Opposite page Kerri Einarson (right) earned her way into the Scotties Friday.

7 curling.ca/2018scotties HEARTCHART Saturday, January 27, Message from the Hon. Lisa Beare Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture The stars weren t aligned for Calgary skip Chelsea Carey. Although victorious, Einarson was ambivalent about the new wild-card format. Well, it s good for us right now, but I m really not sure about it now. We ll see what happens, I guess, but I like it right now, she said. Less than seven weeks ago, Carey s crew of third Cathy Overton-Clapham, second Jocelyn Peterman, lead Laine Peters, alternate Jessica Amundson and coach Helen Radford was one end away from representing Canada at the upcoming Olympics. Since then it has lost the Alberta championship and Friday s wild-card game. It s a one-game event, and it s up against a really good team, so it s a toss up all the time, said a extremely disappointed Carey. You ve got to put your best game together and hope it worked out for you and it just didn t. They took advantage of the opportunities we gave them and we were really close to some really good stuff and it just didn t work out. That s the nature of any one-game qualification. Despite the loss, Carey was grateful for the opportunity to return to the Scotties. You lost your provincial and you ve still got a chance to be here, so that part s good, said Carey. But it s really tough to play in a one-game event when it s at the very start of an event when you know nothing about the rocks or anything like that. It s a tough game to play, but we had our chance to get there through Alberta provincials too. So it s nice to have a second chance but it sucks not to take advantage of it. On Behalf of Premier John Horgan and the Government of British Columbia, it is my pleasure to welcome everyone to the 2018 Scotties Tournament of Hearts in Penticton. I m thrilled to see Canada s best women s curling teams come to the South Okanagan for this competition. I know this region will be an incredible host for curlers, families and fans. This prestigious event welcomes teams from all over Canada, and will provide B.C. s top female curlers the opportunity to compete against the best players in the country. I know this year s tournament will engage the nation and inspire the next generation of athletes. Our government recognizes the role that sport plays in healthy, active lifestyles. Focus, strategy and discipline are some of the key skills that curling nurtures. These are the same skills that extend into all areas of life to build our communities, province and country. Thank you to the City of Penticton and the South Okanagan region for welcoming participants, families and fans to the Scotties Tournament of Hearts. Congratulations to everyone involved in organizing this tournament, and best of luck to the athletes competing this week! 152 Riverside Drive daysinn.ca/penticton CIMCO Refrigeration welcomes all participants and fans to the...

11 FORD HOT SHOTS curling.ca/2018scotties HEARTCHART Saturday, January 27, Four fans along for the ride Robichaud leads way into today s final CATHY THOMPSON BLAINE LODOMEZ RAY TURNER ARLENE KOLUNDZIC Four teams are still at the wheel and four fans from the Okanagan are along for the ride as the revamped Ford Hot Shots is driven in a different direction for the 24th version of the popular curling skills competition. And leading the way into Saturday s final round of the Hot Shots at the 2018 Scotties Tournament of Hearts Canadian women s curling championship at the South Okanagan Events Centre (11:15 a.m. PT), was New Brunswick skipped by Sylvie Robichaud. Instead of an individual skills contest, like the 23 previous years, the Hot Shots has been converted to a team competition at the Scotties and the Tim Hortons Brier in Regina later this year. Instead of receiving a lease on a new Ford vehicle, the winning team will get $15,000 and a lucky By GRANT GRANGER HeartChart Writer fan will win a two-year lease on a 2018 Ford Escape SE 4WD. In Friday s preliminary round, all four team members contributed points on four shots designed by Curling Canada. They include shooters attempting to replicate Northern Ontario skip Al Hackner s famous shot at the 1985 Brier, a difficult around-thehorn triple takeout, a straight raise and a drag-effect double takeout. New Brunswick was the top point getter Friday afternoon with 43 followed by Manitoba and Alberta at 40. Nova Scotia tied with Prince Edward Island for the fourth and final spot at 39 points but got the nod on measurement. It was really fun, said Robichaud. It was our first time trying all those different kind of shots, so it was fun to make some. We were close to making the around-the-horn, just by a little hair or two. I haven t seen someone do it yet, so it s really hard. Robichaud was looking forward to the final because the cash prize could go a long way to defraying expenses for the team from Moncton. It s great to play for money too (instead of a lease), said Robichaud. $15,000 can go a long way, so we re going for it. It s a lot tougher (to travel to cashspiels). We have full-time jobs, so getting time off is a little harder for us. Robichaud and her New Brunswick team will be playing for Cathy Thompson of Oliver. Penticton s Arlene Kolundzic will be cheering on Jennifer Jones Manitoba squad. Blaine Lodomez of Penticton is paired with Alberta, skipped by Casey Scheidegger, while Mary- Anne Arsenault s Nova Scotia champions will get support from Ray Turner from Kelowna. The three fans who don t win will get a $500 donation to a local charity of their choice.
