Other Manitoba teams at the Hearts

Beginning in 1986, the national Tournament of Hearts champion automatically earned a berth for the following years' national championship as "Team Canada". The first Manitoba team to play as "Team Canada" at the Hearts was Connie Laliberte in 1993. A Wildcard entry was added in 2018, which was expanded to three entries in 2021. Two of these entries became prequalifying entries in 2024.
