Team Adams from the Capital Winter Club has retained the title for the 2025 Provincial Women’s Curling Championship – securing the team’s spot in the 2025 Scotties Tournament of Hearts.
“It’s such an amazing feeling,” said Skip Melissa Adams. “We won it last year, to win it two years in a row is always tough. The competition is really tough.”
The tournament lasted three days in a TKO format – where teams played two shifts per day, which began on Jan. 16.
Adams said the team is very excited to go to the Scotties.
“We’ve been there before, we know what it is like, and we like going,” she said.
She said the team’s motto was to “play every game like it Sunday” – showing grit and determination to remain champions of the tournament, which was held at the Heather Curling Club in Saint Andrews.
“We had a lot of close games,” she said.
Adams has been curling since she was young – winning bronze at the Canada Winter Games in 1995. She has one gold medal, as well in the World Juniors Championship in 1998. She has been to Scotties six times in her career, which is held this year in Thunder Bay, Ont.
Her team includes Jaclyn Crandall (third), Kayla Russell (second), Kendra Lister (lead), Molli Ward (alternate), and Alex Robichaud (coach).
The team will represent New Brunswick at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts in February.
