The defending champion Kerri Einarson rink, representing Team Canada, defeated Team Manitoba, skipped by Jennifer Jones in the final, 10–4. It was the fourth straight championship for the Einarson team, becoming only the second team ever to win four straight Tournament of Hearts (Colleen Jones' rink won from 2001 to 2004 inclusively). In the final, Team Canada broke a 2–2 tie in the fifth, when they stole two points after Jones' final draw came up light. Manitoba conceded the game after Einarson hit for five in the ninth end.[4]

Skip Kerri Einarson and her team of Val Sweeting, Shannon Birchard and Briane Harris had won the past three editions and are representing Team Canada at the event.[5] The event follows the same format as the past two editions that includes Team Canada, the fourteen Canadian curling member associations and three Wild Card teams that are the top three teams who did not qualify from their provincial playdowns based on CTRS standings.[6]

Teams

edit

The fourteen Canadian curling member associations held playdowns to determine who would represent their province or territory. Team Canada is represented by Team Kerri Einarson, who were the winners of the 2022 Scotties Tournament of Hearts. The three wild card teams were decided by the CTRS standings. The top three teams, who did not already qualify from their playdowns, qualified.

Wild card selection

edit

In previous years, a wild card game was played between the top two teams on the Canadian Team Ranking System standings who did not win their provincial championship; the winner of this game was usually granted the final spot in the tournament. However, Curling Canada opted to include three wild card teams instead of the usual one. These teams will directly qualify and will not participate in a play-in game. This is the third time this format is being used, with the first two being in 2021 and 2022.
