Canada's women's curling championship
The 2025 Scotties Tournament of Hearts , Canada's national women's curling championship, will be held from February 14 to 23 at the Fort William Gardens in Thunder Bay , Ontario .[ 1] [ 2] The winning team will represent Canada at the 2025 World Women's Curling Championship at the Uijeongbu Indoor Ice Rink in Uijeongbu , South Korea .[ 3]
Teams
A total of eighteen teams will qualify for the 2025 Scotties. The fourteen Canadian curling member associations will hold playdowns to determine who will represent their province or territory. Team Canada is represented by Team Rachel Homan , who won the 2024 Scotties Tournament of Hearts .[ 4]
In a slight change in the qualification format from 2024, the final three teams in the field pre-qualified for the 2025 Scotties based on their 2023–24 Canadian Team Ranking Standings , which meant they bypassed the provincial qualifiers. These spots initially went to Teams Chelsea Carey , Kerri Einarson and Kaitlyn Lawes .[ 5] This is different from the 2024 qualification where two teams pre-qualified for the event with the final spot going to the highest ranked team on the CTRS standings following the conclusion of the provincial championships.[ 6]
On January 2, Karlee Burgess left Team Carey, meaning they no longer retained three of their four players from the previous year.[ 7] Their spot was then given to the next highest ranked team on the 2023–24 CTRS rankings, Team Selena Sturmay .[ 8]
