Team Canada
The defending champions, Team Canada, are back in full for the 2023 version of the Scotties Tournament of Hearts. The Kerri Einarson led team has won this event for the past three years and they are the favorites to make it four in a row this year.
In January this team finished as the runner-up to the Japanese team led by Satsuki Fujisawa at the 2023 Women’s Canadian Open curling event.
Team Ontario
Rachel Homan leads Team Ontario. Also on the team are Tracy Fleury, Emma Miskew and Sarah Wilkes. If there is a team that could beat the defending champions in the field of the 2023 Scotties Tournament of Champions, it is Team Ontario.
Team Homan represented Canada at the 2018 Winter Olympics after their win at the 2017 Roar of the Rings event in Ontario. The team also won the 2017 World Women’s Curling Championship.
Team Manitoba
Jennifer Jones leads Team Manitoba. The other members of the squad are Karlee Burgess, Mackenzie Zacharias and Emily Zacharias. Jones has a long history of winning at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts, claiming the title in 2005, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2015 and 2018. Jones was also the skip for the 2014 women’s curling team for Canada at the Winter Olympics. That team took home the gold medal that year.
Team Manitoba has a good mix of youth and experience and they should be in the mix throughout the event.
Best bet to win the 2023 Scotties Tournament of Hearts
With the number of wins they have in this event and the experience they have playing together, the Kerri Einarson led Team Canada will be hard to beat.
Pick: Team Canada to win the 2023 Scotties Tournament of Hearts.
