Moose Jaw's Penny Barker won her first provincial women's title, sealing the victory after a hit for four points in the final, defeating North Battleford's Robyn Silvernagle. The Barker rink was ranked 7th going into the tournament, and only made the playoffs after winning a tiebreaker match. She then won three straight playoff games to claim the title.[1] The 2017 Scotties Tournament of Hearts will be the first national championship for all four members of the Barker rink. The team is the first Moose Jaw-based team to win the provincial title since 1999.[2]
Dayna Demers, third for the Silvernagle rink won the Marj Mitchell Award for sportsmanship and competitiveness.[3]
