Alison Blair Kreviazuk[1] (/krɛvˈəzək/;[2] born September 27, 1988) is a Canadian curler. Kreviazuk was born in Mississauga, Ontario, and grew up in the Nepean sector of Ottawa. She was the longtime second for the Rachel Homan rink, playing with her from 2002 to 2014. She currently serves as a national coach with the Swedish Curling Association.[3]

Career

2002 to 2014

Kreviazuk had been a member of the Homan rink from when it was formed in 2002, except some of the 2005–06 season and the 2009–10 season when she was too old to play for the team in some junior events, as she is a year older than Homan and her vice, Emma Miskew.

Kreviazuk won three

provincial junior championship, and lost in the 2009 Canadian Junior Curling Championships
finals.

Kreviazuk remained on the team the following season for

Laura Crocker for junior events. The team won the Canadian Junior Curling Championships without Kreviazuk, but she would be invited to play as the Alternate for the team at the 2010 World Junior Curling Championships
, as the age limit for the World Juniors was six months older than that of the Canadian Juniors.

When the rest of the team graduated from the junior levels, Kreviazuk joined the team as a full member once again for the

for sportsmanship.

Kreviazuk left the Homan rink to move to Sweden for the 2014–15 season, and was replaced by Joanne Courtney.[4] Kreviazuk moved to Sweden to be with her boyfriend, Fredrik Lindberg.

2014 to present

While she has not curled competitively in Sweden since moving there, instead focusing on coaching, Kreviazuk did return to Canada to play in the

Stockholm Ladies Cup, filling in for regular lead Dawn McEwen. Kreviazuk also attended the 2017 Canadian Olympic Curling Trials as the alternate for Allison Flaxey's team.[5]

Personal life

Kreviazuk graduated from the University of Ottawa in 2009 with a degree in leisure studies and worked in sales for Capital Fiat. She is the second cousin of singer Chantal Kreviazuk, although Alison's surname is pronounced slightly differently.[citation needed] Her sisters are former teammate Lynn Kreviazuk and Cheryl Kreviazuk, another competitive curler.
