Colleen Jones Curling Career

She began curling competitively at a young age, serving as skip for the St. Patrick’s High School team. She won the first of her 16 Nova Scotia curling titles when she was only 19 years old. As a result, she was invited to compete in the Canadian championships, where she placed second.

At the age of 22, she became the youngest skip to ever win the Canadian women’s curling championship, but her competitive curling was halted by a career, marriage, and a family. She began her career as a correspondent for CBC Television in 1986 and has since covered numerous summer and winter Olympic Games. She is still employed by the CBC and currently works as a reporter for CBC Nova Scotia.

Jones won the Canadian curling championship for the second time in 1999 with her new team of Kim Kelly, Mary Anne Waye (later Arsenault), and Nancy Delahunt. In 2001, the team did it again, winning the World Curling Championship in Lausanne, Switzerland. They won another Canadian title in 2002, and then won the Scott Tournament of Hearts for a record-setting fifth time in 2004. Jones became the first skip in Canadian history to win four consecutive titles. The team went on to win its second World Curling Championship after that.

Their performance at the Scott Tournament of Hearts in 2005 was less than stellar. The squad concluded the round-robin with a 6-5 record and fell to Sandy Comeau of New Brunswick in a tie-breaker. When this happened, the team received a standing ovation, which even brought the other game two sheets over to a halt. The team was back in form the next year, however they lost in the semi-finals against Jennifer Jones. The team disbanded after the end of the 2006 season. Jones became the third member of fellow Haligonian Kay Zinck’s team. Laine Peters was named as the new skip for the rest of the squad.

Jones rejoined with Mary-Anne Arsenault and Kim Kelly for the 2012-2013 season, with the intention of competing in the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. Jones served as the team’s second stone thrower while also serving as the rink’s vice skip, or “mate,” when Arsenault skipped. The Arsenault-skipping team won the 2013 Scotties Tournament of Hearts in Nova Scotia, qualifying for the 2013 Scotties Tournament of Hearts in Kingston, Ontario. They had a 5-6 record at the end of the tournament.

Jones has competed in four Senior Curling Championships in Canada (2011, 2012, 2015, and 2016). At the 2012 Championships, she won a bronze medal, and at the 2015 Championships, she won a silver medal. She won her first Canadian Senior Curling Championships in 2016 and went on to represent Canada in the 2017 Global Senior Curling Championships in Lethbridge, Alberta, where her rink went undefeated to capture the world title.

She is most recognized for being the skip of two women’s world championship teams and six Tournament of Hearts women’s championships in Canada. From the time she won her 67th game in 1994 until Jennifer Jones surpassed her 152 wins in 2021, she had an unprecedented four titles in a row and held the record for most Tournaments of Hearts wins. Jones is a member of the Nova Scotia Sport Hall of Fame and the Canadian Curling Hall of Fame.
