Sara Guy (born November 14, 1997) is a Canadian curler from Sudbury, Ontario.[2] She currently second on Team Krysta Burns.

Career

Guy made four appearances at the Canadian Junior Curling Championships during her junior career in 2014, 2015, 2017 and 2019. In 2014, her Northern Ontario team skipped by Krysta Burns finished with a 4–5 round robin record and in 2015, her team finished 3–6. Guy had her best finish in 2017 as her team qualified for the playoffs with a 7–3 record. Facing Alberta in the semifinal, Team Northern Ontario gave up key steals in the fifth and sixth ends, ultimately losing the game 7–3 and taking home the bronze medal.[3] Also during the 2016–17 season, Guy won the 2017 U Sports/Curling Canada University Curling Championships, representing Laurentian University[4] At her final junior appearance in 2019, her team skipped by Kira Brunton finished with a 5–5 record.

Heading into the 2019–20 season, Guy rejoined the Burns rink with Megan Smith at third and Amanda Gates at lead to compete in the 2020 Northern Ontario Scotties Tournament of Hearts. The team did play in one tour event together prior to provincials, the Part II Bistro Ladies Classic where they finished 1–3.[5] Team Burns finished 5–1 through the round robin of provincials defeating Abby Deschene, 9–4, Laura Johnston, 10–6, and Amanda Gebhardt, 9–6, before losing 9–4 to Krista McCarville, following up their last two round robin games with wins over Camille Daly, 8–3, and Bella Croisier, 8–1. They defeated Laura Johnston again in the semifinal 7–5 and met undefeated McCarville in the final. It was a tight final with singles being traded back and forth most of the game before McCarville scored two points in the ninth end to lead 6–4. Team Burns attempted a difficult shot for two on their final shot, but were unsuccessful, the final score being 6–5.[6] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Ontario, the 2021 Northern Ontario Scotties Tournament of Hearts was cancelled. As the reigning provincial champions, Team McCarville was given the invitation to represent Northern Ontario at the 2021 Scotties Tournament of Hearts, but they declined due to work and family commitments.[7] Team Burns was then given the invitation as they were the runners-up at the 2020 provincial championship, which they accepted.[8] At the Hearts, they finished with a 2–6 round robin record, defeating Northwest Territories' Kerry Galusha and Yukon's Laura Eby.[9]

Personal life

Guy is a registered nurse at Health Sciences North.[2] She studied at Laurentian University. She is also a flight nurse with Keewatin Air. She currently lives in Wahnapitae, Ontario.[10]
