The 2019 Saskatchewan Scotties Tournament of Hearts opened Tuesday in Humboldt.

Penny Barker's team will be reprensenting Moose Jaw at the tournament, that she actually won back in 2017. 

"Having won it 2 years ago, it gives you that confidence that 'yes you can do it'. So now its just about putting in the work and peeking during the week," said Barker. "Our goal is to represent Saskatchewan at the Scottie's and that's what we're out to do." she added.

Team Barker has a bit of a different look this year with the addition of new second Christie Gamble, who according to Barker is fitting in nicely with the team. 

"She's very easy to get along with. It was pretty easy to fit her in the mix," said Barker. "She's a great curler!"

Penny's first draw was this afternoon against Team Eberle from Regina. She has 3 games on Wednesday with the first draw coming at 9:30am against Team Anderson from Saskatoon.
