Curling Canada changes pregnancy exemption rules for 2024 season
Curling Canada says it is opening up its pregnancy exemption eligibility to all teams competing at next year’s Canadian women’s and men’s championships, with the announcement coming a day after the organization came under fire for limiting the exemption to just the top five teams in the rankings.
The exemption allows a team to use a replacement player even if the athlete didn’t play in the provincial/territorial championship or meet residency requirements. The wild-card team for the upcoming women’s championship skipped by fourth-ranked Kaitlyn Lawes of Manitoba was allowed to use Edmonton-based Laura Walker as a replacement for vice Selena Njegovan, who was granted a pregnancy leave.
