Thank you, thank you Jennifer. So many years of watching your perfection and grace. Hard to believe almost 20 years since you came on the curling scene. Enjoy your family and the great memories. Your emotions show the love you have for curling, your teamates and your supporters. You have left a wonderful example behind you are well loved by Canadians. The best xxoo

I was able to watch Jennifer on the opening weekend of the 2024 Scotties in Calgary and it was such a thrill. Watching her interact with her team, the encouragement and patience, the experience clearly oozing. What an amazing woman on top of being an amazing athlete. Wishing you nothing but the best in all your future endeavours and looking forward to what brings you back into our world!

Wow! What a tear jerker interview that was! Congratulations to Jen Jones on all of her past curling accolades, and I wish her, all the best in her final Scotties. I am sure this is not the last of Jen Jones in the sport of curling. She loves the game too much, to walk away from it completely. Looking forward to what the future holds for Jennifer in the sport of curling.🤙🥌🇨🇦

[@staceyleeper1380]

I think she will get into doing some broadcasting.

[@chuckycheese84]

Hopefully an Order Of Canada appointment is next for Jennifer Jones, she 100% deserves it!

[@chuckycheese84]

The GOAT of women's curling in Canada. A well deserved retirement for you Jenn. Thank you for all the great memories over the years. That shot at the '05 Scotties told me right away that there was a LEGEND in the making. It would be awesome to see you in the broadcast booth covering curling events in the future.

[@valeriemulholland4282]

No better journalist to conduct this important interview with the retiring great, Jennifer Jones. Wonderful.

[@rhodaslagel2007]

Thanks for all the entertaining moments for so many years! Congrats on your achievements. Blessings on you and your family in retirement!

[@vinitiusfratila9792]

She's a legend and a superstar..

[@staceyleeper1380]

Jen you are one of a kind. A great mentor, leader and a friend. I can't wait till see what happens next for you.

[@MrHardcor85]

I love Jennifer as a curler! She has been one of my favourites for years. What I would like to state is that she wasn’t better than Sandra Schmirler! She was equally as good but not better! All the best with your future Jenn and thank you for the memories🙏🥌👍😊🥌

Thank-you, Jen

[@RickeGnool]

Arguably the GOAT of the womens game (it's between her and Anette Norberg for me).

[@edkennedy7952]

[@pedanpontif]

She should follow Jill Officer's philosophy on her final games. Just to have fun.

[@youbetcha6880]

An absolute babe

Why is Jen Jones retiring before the 2026 Olympics? Does this mean she has no interest in representing Canada at the 2026 Olympics in Italy? What happens if Jen Jones wins the Scotties does this mean she won't play the 2025 Roar of the Rings?

[@staceyleeper1380]

I'm surprised too but she had a great run.

[@arthurau9231]

@@staceyleeper1380 This makes me wonder what would happen if Jen Jones were to win the 2024 Scotties, would she return for the 2025 Roar of the Rings in Halifax in November 2025? Seems unfair that Jen Jones replacement gains direct entry for the 2025 Roar of the Rings without having to play a single game and benefitted of off Jen Jones retirement. I say if Jen Jones retires that here team be made ineligible to compete at the 2025 Roar of the Rings because it would be a different team in 2025 than the team that won the Scotties in 2024.
