The 1992 Scott Tournament of Hearts, the Canadian women's national curling championship, was held from February 29 to March 7, 1992, at the Halifax Metro Centre in Halifax, Nova Scotia.[2] The total attendance for the week was 42,093.[1]
Team Manitoba, who was skipped by Connie Laliberte won the event as they beat defending champion Julie Sutton and Team Canada 7–3 in the final after nine ends. Manitoba reached the final after beating British Columbia in the semifinal 7–6. This was Manitoba's fourth title overall and the second of three skipped by Laliberte, who also skipped Manitoba's last title in 1984. The eight years between titles for Laliberte along with lead Janet Arnott tied Joyce McKee's then-record for the longest period between title wins.
Laliberte's rink would go onto represent Canada at the 1992 Canada Safeway World Women's Curling Championship held in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany where they lost in the semifinal to eventual champion Sweden.
The 121 blank ends during the event tied the record set the previous year for the most blank ends during a single tournament. As of 2023, this record still stands. Additionally, the final saw the following final game records either tied or set:[3]
- The three points scored by Team Canada tied a record for the fewest points by one team in a final, matching Team Canada in 1986 and Manitoba in 1987.
- Manitoba set or tied the following steal records for a final game:
- Most stolen ends in a final game (4)
- Most points from stolen ends in a final game (5, tied record set by Team Canada in 1986)
- Most consecutive stolen ends in a final game (3, beginning in the sixth end)
- This was also the last final until 2023 to be conceded without any rocks being thrown in the tenth end
