The three-time provincial champion Westcott won a silver medal for Manitoba with Michelle Englot’s crew at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts in 2017. Team Englot returned to the national women’s curling championship the following year in the Team Canada auto-berth spot when Rachel Homan’s club did not return to defend the title as they were busy preparing for the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics.
“I had a few options, but I knew that I still wanted to compete at a high level and wasn’t ready to slow down,” Westcott said. “When Theresa contacted me, I was a little surprised because I had no idea that she was interested in skipping, but looking back to the times playing against them, it was obvious to me that Theresa is incredibly strategic, driven and ready to take that leap.
Even though Canadian clubs are allowed one out-of-province player and more and more are adding an import in order to assemble the best team possible, going against the trend and having everyone live relatively close together was a huge consideration for Cannon. Westcott added: “For the past few years, I’ve played with an import and as much as I enjoyed my teammates, I’ve come to realize how important it is for me personally and as a team to practise together regularly.”
