Kate Cameron is returning to her home province of Manitoba to skip for the first time in a decade.
Cameron, who played third this season for the recently disbanded Casey Scheidegger rink in Alberta, announced a new lineup recently featuring Meghan Walter at vice, Taylor McDonald at second and Mackenzie Elias as lead.
Walter, 21, skipped Wild Card 3 at February's Scotties Tournament of Hearts in Kamloops, B.C., posting a 3-5 record in her first appearance at nationals. Elias was also apart of Walter's team.
Cameron, 31, and McDonald, 29, also went 3-5 at the Scotties with Team Scheidegger.
Back to buffalo hunting! Looking forward to a new adventure with these powerhouse women 👊🏻. Excited to get things going with Meg, Tay & Kenz. ❤️

A native of Winnipeg, Cameron last skipped during the 2013-14 season before moving to the third position, playing for a number of skips, highlighted by a silver medal performance with Michelle Englot at the 2017 Tournament of Hearts.
In other lineup news, Manitoba's Team Beth Peterson revealed they've added two-time world junior champion Kelsey Rocque to their lineup. The 29-year-old Rocque has skipped teams in Alberta for the past 12 seasons, but has never qualified for the Scotties.

On the men's side of things, a pair of Ontario-based rinks announced they've added new front-end players to their lineups.
Toronto's Team John Epping added Jason Camm - brother of Mat Camm - as a replacement for the departing Scott Chadwick while 31-year-old Ian McMillan will join Sudbury's Team Tanner Horgan following the retirement of Colin Hodgson.
