Scotties Tournament of Hearts Field Filling Out
Hello. All but Saskatchewan have their entrants ready for the Scotties Tournament of Hearts in Lethbridge next month. And so far it's shaping up to be a good one.
Ontario will be represented by the Scharf team for the 2nd year in a row. I think this win validates this team as a serious contender.
Returning teams include Strong from Newfoundland, Koe from NWT, Gaudet from PEI, Jennifer Jones from Manitoba, Comeau from New Brunswick, Osborne from Quebec and of course Kelly Scott, the Team Canada entry. All are top teams who have had great success in prior Scotties.
The "new" teams may be the ones to watch, however. Whoever comes out of Saskatchewan will be tough. Sherry Anderson and Stephanie Lawton are two of the best in the business. If someone else advances ahead of them they're a force to be reckoned with. Cheryl Bernard is a top Alberta rink who made it to the finals in '96. And of course Kelley Law from BC has won a world championship and Olympic bronze medal.
Then there's Mouzar from Nova Scotia who beat Colleen Jones' "new" rink, and Colleen Jones' "old" rink. Again, she should be a force if she can retain that form.
It promises to be a great Scotties, which is nice to hear because the tournament organizers are first rate. Having met them in 2003, I can't compliment them enough. It's a first class event.
Regards,
Steve
