Joanne Courtney (born March 7, 1989 as Joanne Taylor) is a Canadian curler from Edmonton, Alberta.
Career
Courtney played third for Valerie Sweeting. She gained recognition in the curling world for her aggressive sweeping style together with Rachelle Pidherny.[2] Though Courtney threw third rocks, she did not hold the broom for the skip, but instead brushed with the front end. Dana Ferguson, the team's second, served as vice-skip for Sweeting.
It was announced that Courtney would join the Rachel Homan rink for the 2014–15 season, replacing Alison Kreviazuk at second position.[3]
Personal life
Courtney is employed as a registered nurse. She graduated from the University of Alberta in 2011 with a Bachelor's Degree of Science in Nursing.[4]
