Nova Scotia’s Stevens books playoff ticket with victory over Armstrong at ScottiesBy Canadian Press on January 29, 2026. MISSISSAUGA — Taylour Stevens and her Nova Scotia teammates were the last to leave the playing area at Paramount Fine Foods Centre after a dramatic afternoon session Thursday at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts. Stevens made a game-winning in-off to score three points for a 9-7 win over Ontario’s Hailey Armstrong in a winner-moves-on round-robin finale for both teams. A tight game turned in the seventh end when Armstrong tried an around-the-horn shot that only removed one Nova Scotia stone. It was the first time in Scotties history that two Nova Scotia teams have made the playoffs.
