“I think I’m the only one who has a baby here so I’m very unique in that sense,” Walker told the media after her Alberta rink out of the Saville Community Sports Centre in Edmonton routed Northern Ontario’s Team Krysta Burns Sunday morning to improve to 3-0.
Walker dropped her first game of the national championship later in the evening, a close fought 6-5 decision to Ontario’s Rachel Homan.
