"I love this team. We've done so much over the years. We've been through so much with each other... we know what we need to do and to bring the best versions of ourselves. So just going to go out there and enjoy the moment." - Kerri Einarson on competing at another world championship
"To see them finally come out on top of the Brier was just so awesome to see. We got a lot of Manitoba pride, and we know there's lots of talent here in this province, so to have us both on top this year is pretty cool." - Shannon Birchard on Team Dunstone's big win
"To be able to play in Canada and have our family and friends there is is going to be special, and it's for sure going to be one that I remember for very, very long time." - Karlee Burgess on wearing the maple leaf at the world championship
"You don't know how many times you're going to be in this position. To come home with a victory would mean so much. Team Homan has really set the bar there the last couple times, and so we'd love to to keep that gold in Canada." - Val Sweeting on representing Canada at the world championship

"We would've loved to have been the Olympic team, but this was next on our list. Given that this group isn't going to be together with E.J. retiring, this group owed ourselves to put our best foot forward, get a Brier. Holy sh--!" - Matt Dunstone
