Team Bio

“Captain Canada” Kelsey Rocque had a junior career for the record books winning back-to-back world junior gold medals in 2014 and 2015 — with different lineups no less — and became the first Canadian women’s skip to accomplish the feat.

She also skipped the Alberta Pandas to consecutive university championships and the team represented Canada at the 2017 Winter Universiade adding another gold medal to the haul. Rocque earned the extra duties of being Canada’s flag bearer for the opening ceremonies.

Danielle Schmiemann and Jesse Marlow also wore the Maple Leaf at the 2019 Winter Universiade with skip Kristen Streifel. Becca Hebert won her Canadian junior title with Jocelyn Peterman at skip.

The team came together ahead of the 2018-19 season and finished runner-up at the Alberta provincial playdowns.
