Corinne "Cori" Morris[1] (born June 21, 1971[2] as Corinne Bartel) is a Canadian curler from Calgary, Alberta. She played lead for the Olympic silver medal-winning Cheryl Bernard rink from 2005 to 2011.

Career

Morris grew up in Lanigan, Saskatchewan. In 1998, Morris played in Ontario, and played in the provincial Scott Tournament of Hearts, as an alternate player for the Cheryl McBain team. She later moved to Alberta. Morris joined Bernard in 2005 after playing for Heather Rankin. She went to the 2007 and 2009 Scotties Tournament of Hearts as a member of that team. At the 2009 Tournament of Hearts, Morris was presented with the Marj Mitchell Sportsmanship Award.

Morris and her team represented Canada in the 2010 Winter Olympics,[2] and won silver medals at the tournament.[3]

On February 8, 2011, it was announced that the Bernard team would disband at the end of the 2010–11 curling season.[citation needed] Morris joined a new team for the 2011–12 curling season,[4] playing as lead under Dana Ferguson for one season. She currently coaches the Kayla Skrlik team[5] and made her return to playing national-level curling at the 2024 Canadian Senior Curling Championships, playing as lead for the Atina Ford-Johnston rink, where they won 5-4 against Ontario's Jo-Ann Rizzo in the final, and will represent Canada at the 2025 World Senior Curling Championships.

Personal Life

Morris is a graduate from the University of Ottawa and is employed as a professional recruiter. She married 1994 World Junior Champion Sean Morris in 2010. She currently works as a Talent Acquisition Partner for ATB Financial.[6]
