An experienced skip will call the shots for Selena Njegovan's new rink to open the 2026-27 curling season.
Chelsea Carey will fill in for Njegovan, who is preparing for the birth of twins next month, the Manitoba team announced Thursday.
Carey, 41, won the Scotties Tournament of Hearts in 2016 and 2019.
Njegovan formed her own rink after playing with Kaitlyn Lawes last year. The team finished second at the 2026 Scotties.
Third Erin Pincott, second Margot Flemming and lead Krysten Karwacki are the other members of the new rink.
