Crystal Webster joins Team Fleury as fifth player

Reigning Northern Ontario champs Team Horgan are bringing in Crystal Webster as a fifth player for next season, the rink announced Tuesday.

Skip Tracy Horgan, third Jennifer Horgan, second Jenna Enge, and lead Amanda Gates have been together for six years and will include Webster as a five-player rotation. The Sudbury, Ont., rink will also be changing names to Team Fleury with Horgan getting married in the summer.

Team Horgan, from Sudbury, Ont., competed in the 2015 Scotties Tournament of Hearts representing Northern Ontario in the region’s inaugural entry in the event. The team finished 2-0 in the pre-qualifier and 6-5 in the main tournament, one win shy of a playoff spot. They claimed two titles on the World Curling Tour in 2014-15 winning the DEKALB Superspiel in November and the Curl Mesabi Classic in December.

Horgan also represented Ontario at the Scotties in 2012.

Webster previously skipped her own team based in Calgary and was a finalist at the 2010 Grand Slam of Curling Players’ Championship. She played with Jessie Kaufman, Geri-Lynn Ramsay and Rebecca Konschuh this past season.
