The 2026 Scotties Tournament of Hearts begins Friday in Mississauga, Ontario, featuring an 18-team field without five-time champion Rachel Homan, who is preparing for the Olympics. Kerri Einarson leads Team Canada as the top seed seeking her fifth national title, while contenders like Christina Black and Kaitlyn Lawes aim to capitalize on the open competition. The winner will represent Canada at the world championships in Calgary.
Young Alberta skips Kayla Skrlik and Selena Sturmay are making their mark at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts, leveraging youth and experience to challenge top teams. Both squads sit at 1-1 and 2-1 respectively after Day 3, drawing confidence from recent performances at Olympic trials and provincials. With time on their side, they aim for playoffs in the Greater Toronto Area event.
