The 2014 Scotties Tournament of Hearts was held from February 1 to 9 at the Maurice Richard Arena in Montreal, Quebec.[1] The defending champion Rachel Homan rink won their second straight title, with Homan becoming the youngest skip to ever win back-to-back championships. The team went undefeated throughout the tournament, with the team never even being forced to throw their final rock in any of their games.
Returning as defending champions were the Rachel Homan rink from Ottawa, representing Team Canada as a result of winning the 2013 Scotties Tournament of Hearts. None of the other qualified teams had won the Scotties. Perhaps the next most decorated team in the event was 2000 Canadian Junior champion, three-time Canada Cup champion and four-time Grand Slam event winner Stefanie Lawton and her Saskatoon rink. The only other team in the event with a Grand Slam event win was team Manitoba, skipped by Chelsea Carey from Winnipeg, who was playing in her first Scotties. Carey qualified out of a Manitoba provincial which excluded the Jennifer Jones rink who were preparing to represent Canada at the 2014 Winter Olympics. Returning to the Scotties was 11-time Newfoundland and Labrador champion Heather Strong and her rink from St. John's as well as 11-time Prince Edward Island champion Kim Dolan and her Charlottetown rink. Also returning was 2005 Canadian Junior champion Andrea Crawford, from Oromocto, who represented New Brunswick for the 7th time. 2011 Scotties bronze medalist and 1991 Canadian junior champion Heather Smith (formerly Smith-Dacey) and her team from Halifax represented Nova Scotia for the 5th time. Allison Ross and her rink from Dollard-Des-Ormeaux represented the host province of Quebec, and played in her fourth Scotties. Val Sweeting and her rink from Edmonton played in her second Scotties representing Alberta. Making their Scotties debut was the 2012 British Columbia junior champion Kesa Van Osch rink from Victoria. 2009 Canadian Mixed champion Alli Flaxey (formerly Nimik) represented her adopted province of Ontario. Her team hails from Listowel, and included second Lynn Kreviazuk, sister of Team Canada second Alison. Finally, representing the Yukon/Northwest Territories was the Sarah Koltun rink from Whitehorse. Koltun, an eight-time territorial junior champion, was fresh from representing the Yukon at the 2014 Canadian Junior Curling Championships.
