First learned to curl at age seven at the RCMP Curling Club in Ottawa. Moved to the Rideau club where her parents were in charge of the junior section.
“My family was into curling, and I met my husband through curling. It’s been so amazing meeting the people in the sport, and the travel I’ve done – I would ever, ever get to do that if I wasn’t curling. It’s just a good Canadian sport.” (Athlete, 17 Dec 2021)
“It’s kind of changed over time. It’s important that my girls grow up strong and independent and good people, with empathy.” (Athlete, 17 Dec 2021)
Had the same trainer for the past 15 years and has a home gymnasium in her basement. Throws practice stones almost every day, sometimes with her husband.
Winning the 2018 World Championship in North Bay. “That was Olympic atmosphere. The crowds were packed and cheering.” (Athlete, 17 Dec 2021)

“It’s the curlers in my life. From the moment I joined the team, Jennifer Jones (CAN) opened my eyes. Just seeing the work ethic, her drive has made me the player I am today. My husband is a massive influence on me as well.” (Athlete, 17 Dec 2021)
“I’m a little superstitious. I might wear the same socks until there’s a loss. Or I’ll do the same things to have a superstitious consistency. But nothing major.” (Athlete, 17 Dec 2021)
“Don’t ever take anything for granted – you’ve got to work really hard and believe in yourself, and hopefully good things will happen.” (Athlete, 17 Dec 2021)
Recognised by a 2019 Canadian panel of broadcasters, media and competitors as the greatest women’s lead in curling history. (tsn.ca, Feb 2019)
