Former Moose Jaw curler Skylar Ackerman is on the ice at the Sutherland Curling Club Friday in her first event of the season.

Ackerman, now based out of the Sutherland Club, is at the Saskatchewan Women's Curling Tour trial event, is facing the Shirrilee Orsted rink, which has Moose Jaw's Candace Newkirk at third. Ackerman faces Jessica Mitchell this evening, while Orsted and Newkirk battle the Hanna Anderson rink - which includes Moose Jaw's Madison Johnson -  in that draw.

Ackerman's round-robin pool also includes rinks skipped by Michelle Englot, Sherry Anderson and Brett Barber. 

The event concludes Sunday.
