In their first season together, Laura Walker, Kate Cameron, Taylor McDonald and Nadine Scotland out of Edmonton's Saville Community Sports Centre went undefeated to win the Alberta women's championship.

Team Alberta skip, Laura Walker makes a shot during draw 3 against team Quebec at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts in Moose Jaw, Sask., Sunday, Feb. 16, 2020. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Jonathan HaywardShe was ready to dial back to mixed doubles events while she and husband Geoff Walker -- Brad Gushue's lead -- contemplated starting a family.

McDonald tried a second time with the message the team would accommodate any changes in Walker's life. Ontario, B.C., Prince Edward Island and the wild-card team skipped by Jennifer Jones were bunched atop Pool B at 2-1. They lost to Ontario's Rachel Homan, but were given Team Canada status the following year in Penticton, B.C., when Homan was otherwise occupied competing in the Olympic Games.The four women worked with University of Alberta researcher and PhD student Shannon Pynn to enhance communication and interaction.

Jones trailed B.C.'s Corryn Brown 6-1 after four ends, but scored three in the fifth and stole four in the sixth to claw her way back into the game."We said when we were down 6-1 we said 'this is going to have to be one of those games we talk about at the end of the week that we found a way to win' and we found a way to win," Jones said.
