TORONTO — Jennifer Jones will soon call time on one of the best careers in curling history. Rachel Homan is set to put a bow on one of the best seasons ever played.

Two of Canada’s best skips will be in the spotlight this week as the Grand Slam of Curling circuit concludes with the Princess Auto Players' Championship at the Mattamy Athletic Centre.

"She just finds ways to play the right shot at the right time. She has that ability to make clutch shots under pressure." Scotland's Bruce Mouat set the best men's record of 61-9 in 2020-21, per the CurlingZone website, while Sweden's Anna Hasselborg had a 53-9 mark in the pandemic-interrupted 2019-20 season.

Jones will begin play Tuesday morning against Sweden's Isabella Wrana. Her Winnipeg-based rink will also play Italy's Stefania Constantini, Japan's Satsuki Fujisawa and Homan before wrapping up her round-robin schedule against Hasselborg on Friday night.
