Overview

• Team Rachel Homan announced Monday that Heather Nedohin will serve as head coach for the 2025–26 season.
• Nedohin, 50, is a two-time Scotties champion and two-time world bronze medallist, having previously skipped the rink to a 2023 Saville Shootout title while Homan was on maternity leave.
• The appointment formalizes the bench role after last season’s rotating support that featured Don Bartlett as coach with brief stints from Brendan Bottcher and Jennifer Jones.
• The lineup of skip Rachel Homan, third Tracy Fleury, second Emma Miskew, lead Sarah Wilkes and alternate Rachel Brown remains intact and sits No. 1 in World Curling’s women’s rankings.
• The season opens Sept. 10–14 at the AMJ Shorty Jenkins Classic in Cornwall, Ont., with the team viewed as the women’s favourite for the Nov. 22–30 Canadian Trials in Halifax that will decide Canada’s Milan-Cortina 2026 berth.
