Thunder Bay's Team Krista McCarville has declined the Northern Ontario Curling Association's invite to represent the region at the 2021 Scotties Tournament of Hearts.
It breaks our hearts to share that our team will be declining the invitation to represent Northern Ontario at the Scotties. There were tears as we made this decision because we love the Scotties (1/6)

As defending Northern Ontario champions, the team of skip McCarville, third Kendra Lilly, second Ashley Sippala and lead Sarah Potts received an invite from NOCA earlier this month after the cancellation of provincial playdowns. However, they were forced to reject the invite to participate in the Calgary curling bubble, citing travel restrictions as well as family and work commitments. McCarville works as a teacher in Thunder Bay.
