[edit] Career
[edit] 1995-2005
Scott won the 1995 World Junior Curling Championships and Canadian Junior Curling Championships when she curled out of Manitoba. She was also runner up at the 1991 Canadian Junior Curling Championships when she played lead for Jill Staub. In 2005, Scott qualified for the 2005 Scott Tournament of Hearts, where she finished second in the round-robin. At the Olympic trials that year, Scott would lose in the final to Shannon Kleibrink.
[edit] 2005-2011
In March 2006, Scott won the 2006 Scott Tournament of Hearts. After leading the round robin with an 9-2 record, she beat Colleen Jones in the semi-final and then beat defending champion Jennifer Jones in the final with a solid 8-6 win. The Scott team went on to the 2006 Ford World Women's Curling Championship in Grande Prairie, Alberta where her team won the bronze medal.
At the 2006 Players' Championships, Scott scored a rare "Eight-ender" in one of her games against Cathy King. [1]
Scott defended her title at the 2007 Scotties Tournament of Hearts defeating Jan Betker's Saskatchewan team in the final. Later, she won the 2007 World Women's Curling Championship, defeating Denmark's team of Angelina Jensen 8-4 in final. Scott became the first female skip to win a gold medal at both a World Junior Championship and a World Championship.
Scott works at Nutri-Lawn, which is owned by her parents, as a Financial Officer. In the summer 2006 Kelly Scott quit her job with the city of Kelowna due to the heavy pressure of the competitive curling season. She is married to Chad Scott.
In 2009, Kelly Scott's team failed to represent B.C. at the Tournament of Hearts for the since time since 2004. This, coupled with a disappointing finish in the CTRS standings, prompted the team to remove Renee Simons from the team.[1]
At the 2010 Scotties Tournament of Hearts, Scott lost in the 3vs4 Page Playoff game to Ontario's Krista McCarville.[2]
For the second straight year at the British Columbia Scotties Tournament of Hearts, Scott defeated Kelley Law in the final to win the provincial championship. At the 2011 Scotties Tournament of Hearts, Scott and team finished the round robin with a 7-4 record which found them in a tie-breaker, where they were defeated by Nova Scotia's Heather Smith-Dacey.
[edit] 2011-current
For the 2011-2012 season, Scott's longtime Third Jeanna Schraeder will not play with the team as she is expecting her third child in November 2011. She plans to take the year off to focus on family. Schraeder will be replaced with three time British Columbia Junior Champion Dailene Sivertson.[3] Together the team would defeat Marla Mallett at the 2012 British Columbia Scotties Tournament of Hearts, earning the right to represent the province at the 2012 Scotties Tournament of Hearts. The team would find difficulties with illness and lineup changes, but also found success at the event. They would finish round robin with an 8-3 record, which was enough to secure a second place finish, and earned a spot in the 1-2 game against Manitoba’s Jennifer Jones. The team would defeat Jones in the 1-2 game 7-5 advancing to the final.
