The 1998 Scott Tournament of Hearts, the Canadian women's national curling championship, was held from February 21 to March 1 at the Agridome[2] in Regina, Saskatchewan.[3] This was the last major tournament in which Sandra Schmirler participated in prior to her death in 2000. The total attendance for the week set a record 154,688 which broke the previous mark set in 1993 by exactly 66,666. As of 2023, this remains the attendance record for the event.[1]

Team Alberta, who was skipped by Cathy Borst won the championship as they defeated Ontario in the final 7–6 in an extra end. This was Alberta's fifth title overall and their first since 1981. This was also the only title skipped by Borst as well. Borst's rink would go onto represent Canada at the 1998 Ford World Women's Curling Championship on home soil in Kamloops, British Columbia where they won the bronze medal.

Both the defending champions and the Saskatchewan provincial champions came from the Caledonian Curling Club in Regina, Saskatchewan making the Caledonian the first curling club to have two teams in the same tournament since the introduction of Team Canada in 1986.

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ a b Team Northwest Territories/Yukon alternate Kerry Koe threw second stones in Draw 16.
  2. ^ Quebec conceded the game after the fourth end and therefore Merklinger's perfect game does not count as an official perfect game in the record books since she did not throw at least ten shots.
