Canada's women's curling championship
The2022Scotties Tournament of Hearts , Canada's national women'scurling championship, was held from January 28 to February 6 at theFort William Gardens inThunder Bay ,Ontario .[ 1] [ 2] 2022 World Women's Curling Championship at theCN Centre inPrince George ,British Columbia .[ 3]
Due to theCOVID-19 pandemic andOntario public health orders, the tournament was heldbehind closed doors with no public spectators for the second season in a row. As Ontario began to permit a maximum capacity of 500 spectators at indoor sporting events beginning January 31, Curling Canada explored admitting limited public spectators for the playoff draws, but ultimately decided against doing so.[ 4] [ 5] [ 6] [ 7]
Due toCOVID-19 pandemic -related concerns, and public health orders in multiple provinces that prohibited sports tournaments, the provincial and territorial playdowns in New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Northwest Territories, Ontario (both Ontario and Northern Ontario), Prince Edward Island, and Quebec were cancelled (or in the case of Ontario, postponed until April), with teams being selected by provincial sanctioning bodies.[ 8] [ 9] [ 10]

Wild card selection [ edit ] In previous years, a wild card game was played between the top two teams on theCanadian Team Ranking System standings who did not win their provincial championship; the winner of this game was usually granted the final spot in the tournament. However, with many provinces cancelling their provincial championships due to the ongoingCOVID-19 pandemic in Canada , thus not allowing many teams to compete for a chance to play at the Scotties,Curling Canada opted to include three wild card teams instead of the usual one. These teams directly qualified and did not participate in a play-in game. This was the second time this format was used, with the first being in 2021.[ 19]
