You don’t need to be into curling or a sports fan in Canada to know the name Jennifer Jones.
She’s one of the most decorated Canadian athletes of all time.
She won Olympic Gold, two world titles and six Canadian women’s curling championships (The Scotties).
Earlier this week, Jennifer announced she’s retiring from women’s curling at the end of the season.
This afternoon, she plays her first game of her last Scotties – going for a record seventh title.
And I’m betting there will be standing ovations, cheers and tears when she steps on the ice.
We managed social media for Team Jennifer Jones during the 2022-23 season and got to see the love, admiration and respect that her fans across the globe and in the curling world have for her.
In 2022, she took a team of four young curlers () under her wing and the Official Team Jennifer Jones banner, and together they thrived, winning Silver at the ‘23 Scotties.
It was quite the ride on social media.
This team photo is one of my favourites of them because it captured that season’s vibe.
We wish Jennifer Jones, Karlee Burgess, Lauren Lenentine and Emily Zacharias all the best at the ’24 Scotties and beyond. 🙌
