Jill Officer to join Chelsea Carey's team at curling worlds

Carey booked her ticket last weekend with an 8-6 victory over Ontario's Rachel Homan in the Scotties Tournament of Hearts final.

Chelsea Carey's Alberta rink trailed 5-1 after the 4th end, but managed to comeback all the way back to beat Ontario's Rachel Homan 8-6 in the finals of the 2019 Scotties Tournament of Hearts.

The team, which did not use an alternate player at the nationals, made the roster announcement on Twitter.

Officer was a longtime second on Team Jennifer Jones before stepping away from competitive curling last year.

She has served as an alternate for Jones at a few events — including the Scotties — this season.

Carey reached the world championship in 2016 but settled for a fourth-place finish.
