Jill Officer will serve as a fifth player on Chelsea Carey’s team at the upcoming world women’s curling championship in Silkeborg, Denmark.

Carey booked her ticket last weekend with an 8-6 victory over Ontario’s Rachel Homan in the Scotties Tournament of Hearts final.

The Alberta side of Carey, third Sarah Wilkes, second Dana Ferguson and lead Rachel Brown stole two points in an extra end for the win in Sydney, N.S.

The team, which did not use an alternate player at the nationals, made the roster announcement on Twitter.
