Defending champion Rachel Homan and Kerri Einarson meet in the final of the Scotties Tournament of Hearts .

The next wave of women’s curling is blossoming with talent, with younger skips continuing to make names for themselves in bids to win the event.

Nova Scotia's Christina Black and her Nova Scotia group went into the week still a little under the radar.

Nova Scotia's Jenn Baxter's father passed away during the Scotties .

The news took Nova Scotia’s second out of Saturday ’s 3 -v-4 game, and Baxter also stayed away for Sunday 's semifinal.

“Just tried to stay mindful and present in myself and just know I get to go curling — and how fun is that?” said Black, through tears.
