THUNDER BAY, Ont. — Jennifer Jones returns to the Canadian women’s curling championship as a coach of the world’s top-ranked team.

Defending Canadian and world champion Rachel Homan will have Jones on her team’s bench at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts starting Friday in Thunder Bay.

Homan’s team made the announcement on social media.

Jones, a six-time national champion, two-time world champion and Olympic gold medallist, retired from women’s team curling last year.
