Team British Columbia, who was skipped by Linda Moore won the event by defeating Newfoundland 13–7 in the final in nine ends, marking the first time a final was conceded prior to ten ends being completed. This was BC's fifth title overall and the only title skipped by Moore.

Moore's rink dominated the tournament as they finished unbeaten with an 11–0 record, becoming the first team since the Emily Farnham's Saskatchewan rink did so in 1974 and the first team to do so in the Hearts era (since 1982). They were also the last team until 2013 to finish round robin play unbeaten and the last team until 2014 to not lose a single game in the tournament.[2]

Moore's rink would go onto represent Canada in the 1985 World Women's Curling Championship in Jönköping, Sweden, which they also won.

The final would set records for the most points scored by one team in a final (13), the most combined points scored in a final (20), and the highest score in one end with hammer in a final (five by BC in the first end).[3] The most points and combined points records remain finals records while the highest score with hammer was matched in the 2023 final.

Lura McLuckie Award

edit

The Scotties Tournament of Hearts Sportsmanship Award is presented to the curler who best embodies the spirit of curling at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts. The winner was selected in a vote by all players at the tournament.

Prior to 1998, the award was named after a notable individual in the curling community where the tournament was held that year. For this edition, the award was named after Lura McLuckie, a builder for women's curling as she was the president of both the Manitoba Ladies Curling Association and Canadian Ladies Curling Association and guided a Scottish women's tour along with helping launch the Canadian Junior Women's Curling Championship.[7]
