2005 – Jennifer Jones becomes a star

Manitoba’s Jennifer Jones made the semifinals in her first Tournament of Hearts appearance in 2001, losing to Ontario’s Sherry Middaugh. No bad at all for a first try, but Jones’ coming-out moment came three years later in St. John’s, Nfld.

Jones was seeded first heading into the playoffs after going 9-2 in the round robin. After beating rival Kelly Scott of British Columbia in the semifinal, Jones faced Ontario’s Jenn Hanna in the championships game. Hanna’s rink out of the Ottawa Curling Club were coming in hot after winning two tiebreakers just to get into the playoffs before beating Saskatchewan’s Stefanie Lawton and Scott in the playoffs.

Ontario controlled almost the entire game as Jones wasn’t at her best for most of that final, shooting just 70 per cent. Manitoba faced a two-point deficit heading into the 10th end and it wasn’t looking any better when it finally came down to the final shot. Hanna’s shot stone was buried behind multiple rocks on the button, with Jones only having an incredible in-off to score four and win the Scotties title in remarkable fashion.

Of course Jones did just that to capture the first of six Canadian titles, paving the way for one of the greatest careers in curling history.
