Kerri Einarson's team will have a new look next season.
Einarson parted ways with third Val Sweeting, alternate Krysten Karwacki and coach Reid Carruthers on Thursday.
The news comes just days after the Gimli, Man., club earned the silver medal at the World Women's Curling Championship in Calgary. Switzerland's Xenia Schwaller defeated Einarson 7-5 in Sunday's final.
The team also features second Shannon Birchard and lead Karlee Burgess.
"Kerri, Shannon and Karlee want to sincerely thank Val for her hard work, commitment, and contributions to the team over the past eight years," the team said in a release. "Her pursuit of excellence has always been evident in her attention to detail, relentless work ethic, and her passion for the game. She has been an integral part of the team's success through her tenure."

Sweeting, from Edmonton, skipped her own squad before joining Einarson, Birchard, and then-lead Briane Harris in 2018.
The team won four consecutive Scotties Tournament of Hearts titles from 2020-23. Einarson also captured back-to-back bronze medals at the World Women's Curling Championship in 2022 and 2023.
Einarson was informed on the eve of the 2024 Scotties Tournament of Hearts that Harris was ineligible to play in the event. Karwacki, who had served as the team's alternate since 2021, came off the bench to fill in at lead. It was later revealed that Harris tested positive for a banned substance and was provisionally suspended. Harris successfully appealed the decision and was cleared of all wrongdoing almost a year later, however, she did not play another game with the team.
Burgess joined last year, with Birchard missing most of the season due to a knee injury. She moved over to lead at the start of this season following Birchard's return.
Einarson was on a roll at the Canadian Olympic curling trials in November, picking up six straight wins to start, but ended with back-to-back losses to Rachel Homan in the last round-robin draw and to Christina Black in the semifinal to fall short of the best-of-three final.
Einarson captured a fifth Scotties title in February, defeating Manitoba's Kaitlyn Lawes 4-3 in the championship game in Mississauga, Ont.
"I'm not sure exactly what the future holds yet," said Sweeting, who also won five Grand Slam of Curling titles with Einarson. "But I look forward to seeing where the next chapter takes me."
Carruthers, who announced his retirement from men's play last month, had coached Team Einarson since 2022.
