Krysta Burns (born June 9, 1996) is a Canadian curler from Sudbury, Ontario.[2] She currently skips her own team.

Career

Burns made three appearances at the

U Sports/Curling Canada University Curling Championships.[4]

Heading into the 2019–20 season, Burns and her teammates Megan Smith and Sara Guy added Amanda Gates, who previously played for Tracy Fleury, to the team as their lead to compete in the 2020 Northern Ontario Scotties Tournament of Hearts. The team did play in one tour event together prior to provincials, the Part II Bistro Ladies Classic where they finished 1–3.[5] Team Burns finished 5–1 through the round robin of provincials defeating Abby Deschene, 9–4, Laura Johnston, 10–6, and Amanda Gebhardt, 9–6, before losing 9–4 to Krista McCarville, following up their last two round robin games with wins over Camille Daly, 8–3, and Bella Croisier, 8–1. They defeated Laura Johnston again in the semifinal 7–5 and met undefeated McCarville in the final. It was a tight final with singles being traded back and forth most of the game before McCarville scored two points in the ninth end to lead 6–4. Team Burns attempted a difficult shot for two on their final shot, but were unsuccessful, the final score being 6–5.[6][7] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Ontario, the 2021 Northern Ontario Scotties Tournament of Hearts was cancelled. As the reigning provincial champions, Team McCarville was given the invitation to represent Northern Ontario at the 2021 Scotties Tournament of Hearts, but they declined due to work and family commitments.[8] Team Burns was then given the invitation as they were the runners-up at the 2020 provincial championship, which they accepted.[9] At the Hearts, Burns led her team to a 2–6 round robin record, defeating Northwest Territories' Kerry Galusha and Yukon's Laura Eby.[10]

Personal life

Burns is currently a genetics technology student at The Michener Institute.[2] She graduated from Laurentian University.
