The field for the 2011 Scotties Tournament of Hearts filled in Sunday with Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Yukon deciding their provincial champions.
Cathy-Overton Clapham will skip Manitoba's entry, which makes for an intriguing subplot to the Canadian women's curling championship Feb. 19-27 in Charlottetown.
Overton-Clapham was on the Jennifer Jones team until last year, when Jones abruptly replaced her long-time third with Kaitlyn Lawes. Overton-Clapham will face her former teammates at the Scotties, as Jones has a bye into the championship as defending champion. Overton-Clapham defeated Chelsea Carey-Morden 7-4 in the Manitoba final.
Calgary's Shannon Kleibrink, an Olympic bronze medallist in 2006, will represent Alberta after beating Heather Nedohin 9-4. In Saskatchewan, Amber Holland's rink from Kronau downed Stefanie Lawton 7-4 to earn a berth.
Ottawa's Rachel Homan, a Canadian junior women's champ last year, will represent Ontario after beating Krista McCarville 9-6.
Heather Smith-Dacey was the winner in Nova Scotia, defeating Theresa Breen 7-3. Andrea Kelly capped an undefeated week in New Brunswick with a 7-2 victory over Sylvie Robichaud.
Kerry Galusha of Yellowknife will represent Yukon and Northwest Territories after winning the round-robin playoff with a 5-1 record.
B.C.'s Kelly Scott, a former Canadian and world champion, and Stacie Devereaux of Newfoundland and Labrador won their provincial titles last week.
Prince Edward Island's representative will be determined Monday and the Quebec women's championship concludes next Sunday.
