SYDNEY, N.S. – Parity at the 2019 Scotties Tournament of Hearts continued to be a focal point Thursday with three teams now tied atop the standings and no team in the Championship Pool eliminated going into the final two draws.

Selena Sturmay will need a strong closing game on Friday – and a little help from the rest of the women’s field – before she can be sure of nailing down a playoff berth at the 2019 World Juniors Curling Championship after losing 8-7 in an extra end to China’s Yu Han on Thursday evening in Liverpool, N.S.

This week, John sits down with Selena Sturmay, the first junior ladies’ skip to go undefeated at the Canadian Juniors since Rachel Homan did it in 2010 and only the fifth ladies team to ever do so at a Canadian Juniors. Selena also won the Alberta Juniors in 2016 as well as the 2018 Usports Curling Championship and she’ll be heading to the Winter Universiade this year representing the University of Alberta.
