Terri Loblaw
Terri Loblaw (born c. 1958)[1][2] is a Canadian curler. She is a former national women's senior champion.
Early life
[edit]In her youth, Loblaw played high school basketball in Rocky Mountain House.[3]
Loblaw did not curl competitively until later in her life, instead playing Slo-Pitch softball.[4] In Slo-Pitch, she played in the 1989 Co-Ed national championships for the Kennedy Oilfield Blackjacks.[2]
Curling career
[edit]Loblaw played in the 2010 Alberta Senior women's championship, finishing with a 2–5 record.[5] She made it all the way the Alberta final in 2014, where she lost to Glenys Bakker.[6] In the 2015 provincial championship, she won the title, defeating Cathy King in the final, when King's rink ran out of time in the extra end.[7] Loblaw, and her rink of Judy Pendergast, Sandy Bell, Cheryl Meek then went on to represent Alberta at the 2015 Canadian Senior Curling Championships.[4] It was the first trip to a national championship at any level for Loblaw. After finishing the round robin with a 9–3 record, Loblaw beat Saskatchewan's Cathy Inglis in the semifinal 9–3, then former world champion Colleen Jones representing Nova Scotia in the final, 7–5. It was Alberta's seventh national women's senior title.[1] The win qualified Loblaw to represent Canada at the 2016 World Senior Curling Championships in Karlstad, Sweden, Loblaw's first trip to Europe in her life.[4] At the 2016 World Seniors, she led Canada to a 7–1 round robin record, but lost to Germany's Monika Wagner rink in the quarter-finals.[8]
Loblaw played in the Alberta women's senior championships again in 2016.[9] Two years later, Loblaw and her rink of Pendergast, Bell and Cheryl Hall won the 2018 Alberta women's championship.[10] The team had less success representing Alberta at the 2018 Canadian Senior Curling Championships, finishing the round robin with a 4–5 record.[11]
