The Scotties Tournament of Hearts, a premier women's curling event, brings Team Saskatchewan to the forefront in Mississauga, Ontario. Skip Jolene Campbell's rink earned its spot by clinching the Bunge Prairie Pinnacle in Melville earlier this month. Joining Campbell are third Robyn Silvernagle, a Biggar-born and North Battleford native with prior Scotties experience, second Rachel Big Eagle from Erickson, lead Dayna Demmans, and alternate Callan Hamon. Representing the Highland Curling Club under coach Ben Gamble, the team is ready to compete.
Their campaign begins tonight in Draw #3 against Team Nova Scotia. The schedule intensifies quickly: Sunday afternoon pits them against Team British Columbia. Monday features morning play versus Team Northwest Territories and an evening matchup with Team Quebec. On Tuesday, they challenge Team Canada, skipped by Kerri Einarson. Wednesday brings games against Team Yukon in the morning and Team Ontario in the evening. The preliminary round concludes Thursday afternoon with a provincial showdown against Team Manitoba.
