The 2006 Winter Olympics bronze medallist Shannon Kleibrink and her Okotoks, Alberta-based team never trailed in the final game against Val Sweeting. It was Kleibrink's fifth career provincial championship, but the first for her teammates. Kleibrink had missed a few games due to a back injury following a routine work-out session[1] and was replaced by two-time Scotties champion Heather Nedohin.[2] For Sweeting, her loss in the final was the second time in a row, as she had lost to Chelsea Carey in the final of the 2016 Alberta Scotties Tournament of Hearts.[3]

Organizers of the event were pleased with the turnout of the event. It was the first provincial Scotties to be held in St. Albert since 1984.[4]
