2-time Canadian curling champion Chelsea Carey to skip Jennifer Jones' team

Two-time Canadian champion Chelsea Carey will take over Jennifer Jones's curling team for the next two seasons.

Both Carey and the Jones's team confirmed the move in a statement Wednesday posted on the X platform, formerly known as Twitter.

Six-time national and two-time world champion Jones retired from women's team curling this season after leading a young team to the Scotties Tournament of Hearts final the last two years.

Winnipeg's Carey, 39, will take over skipping the squad of third Karlee Burgess, second Emily Zacharias and lead Lauren Lenentine.
