The Dominion MA Cup


The Dominion MA Cup presented by TSN was contested in the 2011–12 season.[8][9] The Cup was awarded to the Canadian Curling Association Member Association (MA) who has had the most success during the season in CCA-sanctioned events. Events include the Canadian mixed championship, men's and women's juniors championships, the Scotties, the Brier, the men's and women's senior championships and the national wheelchair championship. Points were awarded based on placement in each of the events, with the top association receiving 14 points, then the 2nd place team with 13, etc.


Alberta won the second Dominion MA Cup, finishing first in five of the eight events, including the Scotties, and finishing second in the other three events, including the Brier. Alberta also defended its title from last year, when they tied with Saskatchewan. Saskatchewan finished in fourth place with two first-place finishes, while last year's runner-up Manitoba finished in a close third, losing second place to Ontario, which had one first-place finish.

Notable team changes



Retirements




  • Prince Edward Island Kim Dolan, one of Prince Edward Island's most notable curlers, retired from competitive curling following her final Scotties appearance.[10]


  • Alberta Randy Ferbey, one of the most dominant curlers in recent history, retired from competitive curling[11] after his team broke up.[12][13]



Careers on hiatus



  • Ontario Sisters Jenn Hanna and Stephanie Hanna announced that they will leave competitive curling, and do not intend to play competitively in the near future.[14]


Team line-up changes


Teams listed by skip, new teammates listed in bold




  • Nova Scotia Mary-Anne Arsenault: Arsenault replaced current third Stephanie McVicar with former teammate and skip Colleen Jones, a six-time Canadian champion who won five championships with Arsenault. Jones will play third, while Arsenault's current second, Kim Kelly, and lead, Jennifer Baxter, will remain in their current positions.[15]


  • Alberta Cheryl Bernard: Bernard decided to drop her lead Jennifer Sadleir after only one season together due to off-ice issues. Shannon Aleksic, a Saskatchewan native who previously played for British Columbia's Kelley Law, will join the team as the new lead.[16]


  • Prince Edward Island Suzanne Birt: Robyn MacPhee, Birt's current second, decided to take a year off of competitive curling, and will be replaced by Sarah Fullerton, a former Prince Edward Island provincial junior champion.[17]


  • British Columbia Jim Cotter: Third Kevin Folk has relocated to Calgary for work. Folk has been replaced by former Winnipeg skip and Russian national champion Jason Gunnlaugson, who moved to British Columbia for work.[18]


  • Newfoundland and Labrador Brad Gushue: Third Ryan Fry left the team following the end of the 2012 Tim Hortons Brier.[19]Brett Gallant, a former Canadian Junior champion from Prince Edward Island, will join the team as Fry's replacement.[20] Gallant will play at second, while current second Adam Casey will play at third.


  • Saskatchewan Amber Holland: Holland parted ways with her team of Heather Kalenchuk, Tammy Schneider and Kim Schneider,[21] and formed a new squad consisting of Dailene Sivertson, Brooklyn Lemon and Jolene Campbell.[22] Siverston, a former British Columbia provincial junior champion, last played as Kelly Scott's second, and will play lead for Holland. Lemon, a former provincial junior champion of Saskatchewan, joins as second, and Campbell, a former skip and Holland's alternate in recent seasons, will play as third.


  • Alberta Shannon Kleibrink: Longtime third Amy Nixon, who left the team in March to form her own team, was replaced by Kalynn Park, who is a former Alberta provincial junior champion.[23] Park will play as second, while Bronwen Webster, who sat out as alternate for much of the season due to pregnancy, will be promoted from second to third following her return.
