Kelly Scott (born June 1, 1977 in Winnipeg, Manitoba as Kelly Lynn Mackenzie) is a Canadian curler from Kelowna, British Columbia.

Career

1995–2005

Scott won the 1995 Canadian Junior Curling Championships and the 1995 World Junior Curling Championships when she curled out of Manitoba. She was also runner up at the 1991 Canadian Junior Curling Championships when she played lead for Jill Staub. Scott moved to British Columbia with her family in the late 1990s. In 2005, she won her first BC Tournament of Hearts, defeating Patti Knezevic 7–6 in the final, winning in extra ends. [1] This qualified Scott to represent British Columbia at the 2005 Scott Tournament of Hearts, where she finished second in the round-robin, but lost both of her playoff games.

2005–2011

The Scott team participated at the 2005 Canadian Olympic Curling Trials, where they finished in first place in round robin with a 7–2 record. They faced Shannon Kleibrink in the final, and leading 7–5 after nine ends, gave up three in the tenth, losing the Olympic bid to Kleibrink.

In March 2006, Scott won the

2006 Ford World Women's Curling Championship in Grande Prairie, Alberta
where her team won the bronze medal.

At the 2006

Players' Championships, Scott scored a rare "eight-ender" in one of her games against Cathy King.[2]

Scott defended her title at the 2007 Scotties Tournament of Hearts, defeating Jan Betker's Saskatchewan team in the final. Later, she won the 2007 World Women's Curling Championship, defeating Denmark's team of Angelina Jensen 8–4 in final. Scott became the first female skip to win a gold medal at both a World Junior Championship and a World Championship.

Scott works at Nutri-Lawn, which is owned by her parents, as a Financial Officer. In summer 2006, Kelly Scott quit her job with the city of Kelowna due to the heavy pressure of the competitive curling season.

She is married to Chad Scott.

In 2009, Kelly Scott's team failed to represent B.C. at the Tournament of Hearts for the since time since 2004. This, coupled with a disappointing finish in the CTRS standings, prompted the team to remove Renee Simons from the team.[3]

Scott and the team competed in the 2009 Canadian Olympic Curling Trials; however, they finished round robin in last place, with a 1–6 record.

At the 2010 Scotties Tournament of Hearts, Scott lost in the 3vs4 Page playoff game to Ontario's Krista McCarville.[4]

The team would find difficulties with illness and lineup changes, but also found success at the event. They would finish round robin with an 8-3 record, which was enough to secure a second-place finish, and earned a spot in the 1-2 game against Manitoba's Jennifer Jones
. The team would defeat Jones in the 1-2 game 7-5 advancing to the final.

Schraeder re-joined the team for the 2012-13 season at the third position, replacing Sivertson who moved to Saskatchewan to play lead for

Sarah Wazney at the lead position, who replaced Jacquie Armstrong at lead, who became the team's alternate. The team won another provincial title, defeating Patti Knezevic in the final of the 2013 British Columbia Scotties Tournament of Hearts. At the 2013 Scotties Tournament of Hearts
