Emma Miskew and Rachel Homan (who will be inducted simultaneously in 2026) have shared their curling journeys from the day they threw their first stones as five-year-olds in a Little Rocks program.

Set to enter the Ottawa Sport Hall as individuals, Homan and Miskew have teamed up with other curlers from Ottawa as well as partners from out of town over the years as they rose up the ranks.

But the pair of Ottawa Curling Club athletes have been together the whole way since they officially joined forces as teammates at age 12 and quickly collected four consecutive Ontario Bantam titles from 2003 to 2006, followed by a 2007 Canada Winter Games gold medal.

In 2010, the Homan-skipped rink went undefeated to win the Canadian junior nationals and earned a world junior silver medal.

Homan and Miskew captured their first of five Scotties Tournament of Hearts Canadian women’s titles in Kingston in 2013, then won a world bronze medal. They then repeated as Canadian champions in 2014 and improved to world silver.

The pair was victorious again at the 2017 Scotties and became the first team in the history of the women’s world championships to post an undefeated record.

With two new players in their lineup, Homan and Miskew were later part of the first team to go through a Scotties tournament undefeated in 2024. They repeated that feat in 2025 and brought home their second consecutive world title.

In Fall 2025, Homan and Miskew also broke the record for the most Grand Slam of Curling victories in either the men’s or women’s divisions with their 19th tournament triumph.

In Olympic competition, Homan and Miskew placed sixth at the PyeongChang 2018 Olympics after winning the 2017 Roar of the Rings trials in their hometown. At the 2022 Olympics, Homan was fifth with John Morris in mixed doubles.

Now, both Homan and Miskew are set to return to the Games as Canada’s representatives for the upcoming Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games after winning the Canadian trials in November.
