Less than a month after competing in the Olympic Winter Games in Beijing, Jennifer Jones and her teammates have announced that they will go their separate ways…
Jones, a six-time Canadian women’s curling champion, two-time world champ and Olympic gold medallist out of Winnipeg, said the timing was right, with long-time lead Dawn McEwen retiring and second Jocelyn Peterman planning a move to Alberta.
The biggest news is that Jones and long-time third Kaitlyn Lawes will no longer play together. Lawes joined the Jones team at age 21 in 2010 and won a gold medal and a world championship with the team over 12 years as vice-skip. Jones, a 47-year-old who is arguably the greatest women’s curler of all-time, said she intends to keep playing.
Jones and her teammates won the Olympic curling trials in November and placed fifth at the Olympics in Beijing last month. Jones, Lawes, Jill Officer and McEwen won a gold medal at the 2014 Olympics in Sochi.The Jones team was named the greatest women’s team of all-time in a 2019 TSN poll. Jones was named the best women’s skip, Officer the best women’s second and McEwen the best women’s lead.McEwen announced her retirement on Saturday at age 41.
