Laurie St-Georges (born August 23, 1997) is a Canadian curler from Laval, Quebec.[2] She currently skips her own team on the World Curling Tour. St-Georges represented Quebec at the 2021 Scotties Tournament of Hearts and led her team to a 6–6 record. She also won the Marj Mitchell Sportsmanship Award, which is voted on by the players at the event.[3]

Career[]

St-Georges is an accomplished junior curler, having participated in three Canadian Junior Curling Championships in 2016, 2018 and 2019. In 2016, she led her Quebec rink of Cynthia St-Georges, and Emily Riley to a 6–4 record, finishing in sixth place. In 2018, her team made it all the way to the final before losing to Nova Scotia's Kaitlyn Jones, earning the silver medal.[4] In her final appearance in 2019, she lost to British Columbia's in a tiebreaker to qualify for the playoff round.[5] Also during the 2018–19 season, she lost in the final of the Curl Mesabi Classic World Curling Tour event.[6]

St-Georges and her team aged out of juniors the following season and started competing more frequently on the tour. They competed in their first Grand Slam of Curling event at the 2019 Tour Challenge Tier 2 where they lost in a tiebreaker to Megan Balsdon.[7] Team St-Georges also competed in their first provincial women's championship at the 2020 Quebec Scotties Tournament of Hearts. After finishing the round robin in first place, they lost in the final to Noémie Verreault 3–1.[8] She would however win the provincial mixed doubles championship with her boyfriend Félix Asselin.[9]

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Quebec, the 2021 Quebec Scotties Tournament of Hearts was cancelled.[10] Since the defending champions, Team Noémie Verreault, had disbanded, Team St-Georges (the 2020 provincial runner-up) was invited to represent Quebec at the 2021 Scotties Tournament of Hearts, which they accepted.[11] The event was played in a bio-secure bubble in Calgary, Alberta to prevent the spread of the virus. At the Hearts, St-Georges and her teammates Hailey Armstrong, Emily Riley and Cynthia St-Georges received a lot of media attention and fans thanks to their positive attitudes and strong play on the ice.[12] They also defeated multiple higher ranked teams in the tournament including the Wild Card team of Tracy Fleury (skipped by Chelsea Carey), Corryn Brown's British Columbia rink and Suzanne Birt's team out of Prince Edward Island. Ultimately, they finished the event with a 6–6 record and a seventh place finish.[13] Laurie also won the Marj Mitchell Sportsmanship Award, which is voted on by the players at the event.[14] St-Georges returned to the bubble in March 2021 to represent Quebec at the 2021 Canadian Mixed Doubles Curling Championship with boyfriend Félix Asselin. At the championship, the pair just missed the playoffs, finishing in fifteenth place with a 4–2 record.[15]

Aside from women's curling, St-Georges competed in the 2019 Canadian Mixed Curling Championship, playing third for Félix Asselin. The team finished on top of the standings after the championship pool with an 8–2 record before losing in the semifinal to Nova Scotia. They bounced back in the bronze medal game, defeating Ontario for the bronze medal.[16]

Personal life[]

St-Georges is currently a journalism student at the Université du Québec à Montréal. She is in a relationship with fellow curler Félix Asselin.[2] Her sister Cynthia St-Georges plays lead on her team and her father Michel St-Georges is their coach.
