2017 Alberta Scotties Tournament of Hearts

The 2017 Jiffy Lube Alberta Scotties Tournament of Hearts Alberta's provincial women's curling championship, was held from January 25 to 29 at the St. Albert Curling Club in St. Albert, Alberta. The winning Shannon Kleibrink team will represent Alberta at the 2017 Scotties Tournament of Hearts in St. Catharines.

The 2006 Winter Olympics bronze medallist Shannon Kleibrink and her Okotoks, Alberta-based team never trailed in the final game against Valerie Sweeting. It was Kleibrink's fifth career provincial championship, but the first for her teammates. Kleibrink had missed a few games due to a back injury following a routine work-out session^[1] and was replaced by two-time Scotties champion Heather Nedohin.^[2] For Sweeting, her loss in the final was the second time in a row, as she had lost to Chelsea Carey in the final of the 2016 Alberta Scotties Tournament of Hearts.^[3]

Organizers of the event were pleased with the turnout of the event. It was first provincial Scotties to be held in St. Albert since 1984.^[4]
