The winning Shannon Kleibrink team represented Alberta at the 2017 Scotties Tournament of Hearts in St. Catharines.
The 2006 Winter Olympics bronze medallist Shannon Kleibrink and her Okotoks, Alberta-based team never trailed in the final game against Val Sweeting.
It was Kleibrink's fifth career provincial championship, but the first for her teammates.
Kleibrink had missed a few games due to a back injury following a routine work-out session[1] and was replaced by two-time Scotties champion Heather Nedohin.
[2] For Sweeting, her loss in the final was the second time in a row, as she had lost to Chelsea Carey in the final of the 2016 Alberta Scotties Tournament of Hearts.
