The 2001 Scott Tournament of Hearts, the Canadian women's national curling championship, was held from February 17 to 25, 2001 at the Sudbury Community Arena in Sudbury, Ontario.[2] The total attendance for the week was 60,480.[1]
In one of the most exciting finishes in tournament history, the 1999 champions, Team Nova Scotia, who was skipped by Colleen Jones won the event as they beat defending champions Kelley Law and Team Canada in the final 7–6 in an extra end. Down to their last rock with Canada sitting one in the extra end, Jones would come off her own stone and her shot rolled into the eight foot close enough for a measurement, which Nova Scotia won to capture the title. Canada forced an extra end when Law made a raise and peel on the Nova Scotia shot rock to score one.
This was Nova Scotia's fourth title overall and the third title skipped by Jones. Jones became the fourth skip to win three titles joining Vera Pezer, Connie Laliberte, and Sandra Schmirler as the only skips at the time to accomplish that feat. Jones' rink would go onto represent Canada at the 2001 Ford World Women's Curling Championship in Lausanne, Switzerland, which they won. The national championship also qualified them for the 2001 Canadian Olympic Curling Trials in Regina, Saskatchewan.
