The 2019 Scotties Tournament of Hearts, Canada's national women's curling championship, was held from February 16 to 24 at the Centre 200 in Sydney, Nova Scotia. The winning team represented Canada at the 2019 World Women's Curling Championship held from March 16 to 24 at the Silkeborg Sportscenter in Silkeborg, Denmark. The final game featured the largest comeback in Scotties Finals history (according to TSN statistics). Alberta's Chelsea Carey came back from a 5–1 deficit, winning the championship 8–6 thanks to 5 total steal points in the second half, and two dramatic misses by Ontario's Rachel Homan.[1]

This year's tournament was notable for Nunavut winning their first Scotties round robin game ever, defeating Quebec's Gabrielle Lavoie 4–3 in Draw 1;[2] and the highest scoring game ever at a Canadian women's curling championship in Draw 10 with Prince Edward Island's Suzanne Birt winning 13–12 in an extra end over New Brunswick's Andrea Crawford, a total match score of 25 points.[3]

Team Canada's Jennifer Jones set a new record for the most Canadian national women's championship game wins as a skip when she skipped the 141st victory of her Scotties career over British Columbia's Sarah Wark in Draw 18 on February 22.[4]

Teams

Summarize
Perspective

After winning the 2018 Scotties Tournament of Hearts, Team Jennifer Jones returned to represent Team Canada, but with a lineup change. Following Jill Officer's retirement after the 2017–18 season, the Jones rink added 2016 Scotties champion Jocelyn Peterman to the team as second. Officer would however join the team as their alternate. Many Scotties veterans such as Rachel Homan (Ontario), Chelsea Carey (Alberta), Krista McCarville (Northern Ontario), Kerry Galusha (Northwest Territories), Jill Brothers (Nova Scotia), and Suzanne Birt (Prince Edward Island) won their respective playdowns. Andrea Crawford returned to skip Team New Brunswick after taking some time off and moving to Germany. Tracy Fleury, who had previously represented Ontario and Northern Ontario, won the 2019 Manitoba Scotties Tournament of Hearts after defeating the heavily favoured Kerri Einarson rink. Sarah Wark (British Columbia), Gabrielle Lavoie (Quebec) and Robyn Silvernagle (Saskatchewan) made their Scotties debuts.

Wildcard game

Summarize
Perspective

A wildcard play-in game was played on February 15. It was contested between the top two teams in the Canadian Team Ranking System standings who did not win their respective provincial championships: the Gimli Curling Club's Kerri Einarson rink from Gimli, Manitoba and the Lethbridge Curling Club's Casey Scheidegger rink from Lethbridge, Alberta. Team Wildcard entered the Scotties as the number 4 seed.

In advance of the 2018–19 season, Rachel Homan was guaranteed a spot in the wildcard game if her team did not win their provincial championship. The team was forced to decline their Team Canada berth in the 2018 Scotties due to qualifying for the Olympics.[7] However, had Homan been eliminated from the provincials, her team would have qualified for the game without the guaranteed spot as they led the CTRS standings.
