The history of the Scotties
The 2026 Scotties Tournament of Hearts, marks the 45th consecutive year of Kruger Products sponsorship of the Canadian Women’s Curling Championship.
Kruger Products is the longest national corporate sponsor of amateur sport in Canada. It was in St. John’s at the 1981 Lassie that Scott Paper Limited officially made the commitment to the Canadian Curling Association (now known as Curling Canada) to sponsor the Canadian Women’s Curling Championship.
