2022 Players' Championship


The 2022 Princess Auto Players' Championship was held April 12–17 at the Mattamy Athletic Centre in Toronto, Ontario. It was the fourth Grand Slam and final major of the 2021–22 curling season, following the cancellation of the Meridian Open.
Despite feeling ill in the final due to food poisoning, Anna Hasselborg led her team to their seventh Grand Slam title, and completed a career Grand Slam, becoming the first women's team to do so.
