Thunder Bay's Team Scharf has announced its disbandment after a decade of competition, including multiple appearances at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts. The team achieved notable success, such as two silvers and two bronzes at the Scotties and a bronze at the 2021 Olympic trials. While most members step away to focus on family, one plans to continue playing.

In the opening match of the Scotties Tournament of Hearts, experienced skip Kaitlyn Lawes of Manitoba outplayed newcomer Taylor Reese-Hansen of British Columbia, securing a 10-4 victory. The game highlighted the contrast between veteran prowess and youthful promise at the Canadian women's curling championship. Lawes, a two-time Olympic champion, took control early and never looked back.
