MOOSE JAW, Sask. – It’s crunch time at the 2020 Scotties Tournament of Hearts.
There are no surprises with this group. Einarson, Jones and Homan are ranked second, third and fourth respectively in Canada and are all in the top 10 in the world. McCarville would be, too, if not for her light schedule playing way up north in Thunder Bay, Ont. “It was little bit of an emotional rollercoaster. We lost our first game [in the main draw] and now lost our last game. Maybe we can get on a bit of a winning streak again,” Jones said.
“We were anticipating having to beat the top teams coming in,” said Jones. “It’s kind of played out the way we thought it would so we know we’re going to have to play great in order to win this thing.” “What seven?” Einarson joked with reporters Thursday night after clinching a playoff spot, seemingly putting that memory to bed.Kerri Einarson says she's very happy to be in the 1 vs. 2 page playoff and owes a lot of her success this week to her great teammates.
Some of those wins have came in the Scotties playoffs as well, with Homan eliminating McCarville in the 2017 semi-final and the 2019 Page 3 vs. 4. McCarville’s only win came in late 2016 at a Grand Slam event. Dating back to 2010 when she finished third, this will be McCarville’s fifth straight appearance in the Scotties playoffs. It’s an impressive feat given that you simply don’t see the school teacher on the World Curling Tour or Grand Slam circuit very often due to family and work commitments as well as travel constraints given the team’s northern home base.

Scotties curlers say pay equity at national championship ‘long time coming’ - TSN.caCompetitors at the Canadian women’s curling championship in Moose Jaw this week say they’ve ‘come a long way in the sport’ and are appreciative that the Scotties and Brier finally have the same purse, TSN’s Ryan Horne writes. So, what are the ratings & sponsorship differences between men's & women's curling? If they are both equal, then equal pay makes sense. But if the men draw more viewers & sponsors, should it be equal? Nada. TV viewership not even close to the Brier Arena is 75% empty Pay is the same though They basically signed the death warrant for the Scotties
