- On Jan. 23, 2026, Manitoba skip and two-time Olympic champion Kaitlyn Lawes defeated B.C. skip from Victoria Taylor Reese-Hansen 10-4 in Mississauga on Scotties opening night.

- After a second-end steal by Reese-Hansen, she scored a third-end deuce following Lawes’ missed cross-house double takeout, but Lawes seized control with a sixth-end deuce and an eighth-end three.
- Round-Robin positioning matters because the top three teams in each pool will advance to next weekend's playoffs, and the Page playoff 1-2 winner advances to the final Feb. 1.
- An announced crowd of 2,949 watched as the B.C.-Manitoba matchup was the national broadcast feature and Jocelyn Peterman, usual second for the Lawes rink, missed the game preparing for mixed doubles with Brett Gallant.
