Margot Sutherland Flemming[2] (born December 9, 1993) is a Canadian curler from Yellowknife, Northwest Territories.[3] She currently plays third on Team Kayla Skrlik.

Career

Juniors

While in juniors, Flemming played third for Kendall Haymes. Despite not winning a provincial junior title, the team did win the U18 Ontario Curling Championships in 2010 with second Cassie Savage and lead Megan Arnold.[4]

Women's

Flemming and her team skipped by Shannon Jay qualified for the 2015 Ontario Scotties Tournament of Hearts by winning their regional qualifier.[5] At the provincial championship, the team finished in ninth place with a 3–6 round robin record. The following season, Flemming left the Jay rink and joined Team Kerry Lackie. On the tour, the team missed the playoffs in all three of their events. They weren't able to qualify for the 2016 Ontario Scotties Tournament of Hearts either, losing out in their regional qualifier.

After taking a season off, Flemming joined the

Listowel Women's Classic and the US Open of Curling and the quarterfinals of the NAVY Fall Classic Open Bonspiel.[7][8] Despite their successful season on tour, the team was unable to qualify for the 2018 Ontario Scotties Tournament of Hearts. The following season, Team Froud only qualified in two of their seven events and did not win any titles. They also competed in the 2018 Tour Challenge Tier 2 event, losing in a tiebreaker to Kelsey Rocque.[9] They were able to qualify for the 2019 Ontario Scotties Tournament of Hearts, however, they finished in seventh place with a 2–5 record. After failing to make it to the 2020 Ontario Scotties Tournament of Hearts, Flemming moved to the Northwest Territories and joined the Kerry Galusha
rink as their second.

During the abbreviated 2020–21 season, Team Galusha won the 2021 Northwest Territories Scotties Tournament of Hearts and qualified for the 2021 Scotties Tournament of Hearts, Flemming's first national competition. The Tournament of Hearts was held in a bio-secure "bubble" to prevent spread of the COVID-19 virus. Team Galusha finished the round robin with a 4–4 record, just missing the championship pool.[10]

Team Galusha had a great start to the

Andrea Crawford and were eliminated from contention.[18]

To begin the 2022–23 season, Team Galusha reached the quarterfinals of the 2022 Saville Shoot-Out where they lost to Casey Scheidegger.[19] They then played in the 2022 PointsBet Invitational where they again lost to the Scheidegger rink in the opening round. The team continued to have success on tour in October, reaching the semifinals of the 2022 Tour Challenge Tier 2 Slam and the quarterfinals of the North Grenville Women's Fall Curling Classic.[20] In the new year, they again went undefeated to win the 2023 Northwest Territories Scotties Tournament of Hearts, defeating Reese Wainman 8–1 in the final. Representing the Territories at the 2023 Scotties Tournament of Hearts, Team Galusha started the event with a 3–1 record before losing their next three games. They won their final game against the Yukon to finish fourth in their pool with a 4–4 record, missing the playoffs.[21]

The Galusha rink did not have as much success on tour the following season, only reaching the playoffs in two of their first six events. This included a semifinal finish at the Alberta Tour Kick-off and a quarterfinal appearance at the 2023 KW Fall Classic. In December, the team went undefeated at the Stu Sells Brantford Nissan Classic until the final where they lost to Courtney Auld.[22] After winning the 2024 Northwest Territories Scotties Tournament of Hearts, the team announced the 2024 Scotties Tournament of Hearts would be their last event together as they would disband at the end of the season.[23] At the Hearts, the team finished fifth in their pool with a 3–5 record.[24] This included defeating Manitoba's Jennifer Jones in their final round robin game and having the largest comeback in Scotties history, overcoming a seven-point deficit after three ends to defeat Ontario's Danielle Inglis 10–9.[25][26]

On March 26, 2024, it was announced Flemming would join the Kayla Skrlik rink from Alberta for the 2024–25 season. She would play third, with second Geri-Lynn Ramsay and lead Ashton Skrlik rounding out the team.[27]

Mixed

Flemming represented the Northwest Territories at the 2021 Canadian Mixed Curling Championship playing third for Jamie Koe. The team finished 9–1 through the round robin and championship pools. They then dropped the semifinal to Quebec before claiming the bronze medal with a victory over New Brunswick. The team returned the following and again reached the playoffs with a 7–3 record. After a 6–5 loss to Northern Ontario in the semifinal, they defeated British Columbia to claim a second bronze medal. In 2023, they just missed the playoffs with a 6–4 record.

Personal life

Flemming is currently a PhD student at the University of Waterloo, studying geography, researching the use of satellite observations for snow monitoring in the Northwest Territories. She is married to Dylan Price.[28]
