We are seeing a lot of first and second year teams this year which is good for the future but I don't think many of these teams know yet what it takes to perform well in the Scotties, it is truly a marathon, made worse by being in a bubble. For this reason we are seeing NT and NB, both teams lead by veterans, having such a strong showings while the younger teams look to have petered out early. As I type this, NWT looks to have made the play offs for the first time ever!!! (8-3 after 8 in tie breaker).
The young teams from PQ, BC, SK and MB will only get better and more experience for the newly formed Carey rink and the Duncan team will make for better competition in the years to come. That being said, we will likely see a mixing up of the ladies again over the next year or two as the next Olympic qualifying cycle begins. Hopefully these next couple years can be "normal" years and we will see more events played and some excellent development within the mix of young ladies teams.
