Career

edit

Webb played in three straight Canadian Junior Curling Championships from 2001 to 2003, all for different provinces. In 2001 she played third for Sylvie Robichaud on Team New Brunswick She was then asked to be the fifth on the Prince Edward Island team that went on to win the World Juniors.

After juniors, Webb played in New Brunswick with Kathy Floyd and then with Sandy Comeau. In 2006, she was reunited with the Suzanne Gaudet team in Prince Edward Island.
