The 1986 Scott Tournament of Hearts, the Canadian women's national curling championship, was held from February 22 to March 1, 1986 at the Thompson Arena in London, Ontario.[2] The total attendance for the week was 21,023.[1] It was the first year the defending champions would get a berth into the competition and return as Team Canada, who was skipped by Linda Moore.
Team Ontario, who was skipped by Marilyn Darte won the championship on home soil after defeating defending champion Linda Moore and Team Canada 7–3 in the final. This was the first women's championship for Ontario and the first of two skipped by Darte (later Bodogh). This was the third time that the host province had won the event, joining New Brunswick in 1963 and Saskatchewan in 1972.[3]
Darte's rink would go onto represent Canada at the 1986 World Women's Curling Championship on home soil in Kelowna, British Columbia, which they also won.
The event set or tied several scoring records of which have either been tied or still stand as of 2023.[4][5]
