1982 Scott Tournament of Hearts
The 1982 Scott Tournament of Hearts, the Canadian women's curling championship, was held February 27 to March 6, 1982 in Regina, Saskatchewan. It was the first time the championship would go by the Scott name. The total attendance for the event was 12,896.
The playoff was modified for the first time with four teams now entering the semifinal with the semifinal winners advancing to the final. Previously, the top three teams advanced with the top seed in the round robin advancing directly to the final against the semifinal winner.
Team Nova Scotia, who was skipped by Colleen Jones won the event as they defeated Saskatchewan in the semifinal 11–4, then Manitoba in the final 8–7. At 22 years of age, Jones became the youngest skip to win a Canadian women's curling championship. This was the first championship for Nova Scotia and the first of a record six championships skipped by Jones. However, due to career, marriage, and family commitments, it would be another before Jones would win another championship.
The Jones rink would go onto represent Canada at the 1982 World Women's Curling Championship in Geneva, Switzerland where they would finish fifth and missing the playoffs after losing two tiebreaker games to Scotland and Norway.
