At the 2005 Scotts, she caught the attention of many by winning the Ford Hot Shots competition and defeating defending champion Colleen Jones in the first draw.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Open_8-0" style="line-height:1em;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[8]  After falling to a record of 2-4, she rallied by winning four of her next five games, finishing 6-5. This was enough, however, to get into a four-way tie for fourth place.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-2005Scott_9-0" style="line-height:1em;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[9]  Hanna would end up winning both of her tie-breakers, against Cathy King of Alberta and Sandy Comeau of New Brunswick, allowing her to make the playoffs.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Breakers_10-0" style="line-height:1em;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[10]  She then proceeded to defeat Stefanie Lawton of Saskatchewan in the 3 vs. 4 game, followed by Kelly Scott of British Columbia in the semi-final, to face the Jennifer Jones rink from Manitoba in the final.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Playoffs_11-0" style="line-height:1em;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[11]  At this stage, Hanna's team played well, and led for most of the game, but lost on the last rock to Jones' game saving in-off for four points.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-12" style="line-height:1em;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[12]  Hanna was named the tournament MVP, and was chosen for the second all-star team.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-CCA_13-0" style="line-height:1em;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[13] ===2005–present<span class="mw-editsection" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;padding-right:0.25em;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[edit] === For her winning the 2005 Ontario Scott Tournament of Hearts, the Ottawa Curling Club was given this banner<p style="line-height:19.200000762939453px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:13px;">In March 2005, Hanna announced that her team's spare player, Joëlle Sabourin, would replace Letendre as the team's third, producing the same lineup they had in 2003-2004. Letendre was supposed to be the new spare, but had decided to form her own team.<sup class="Template-Fact" style="line-height:1em;white-space:nowrap;">[citation needed]

Cadorin, who had skipped her own team for a number of years would play third, while Sabourin would play second. Dawn Askin became the team's Alternate, citing her desire to focus on her new career.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Shorty_16-0" style="line-height:1em;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[16]

After not winning any major bonspiels, the team did have some success at the 2007 provincial championship. After finishing in first place after the round-robin, they lost both of their playoff games.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-2007Playoffs_17-0" style="line-height:1em;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[17]

Steph Hanna was then promoted to third, and Merklinger to second, adding Lauren Mann as lead. Mann would be replaced byLisa Weagle later on in the season. The team once again did not perform very well in the season's curling tour. However, they once again were able to make it to the provincial championship. The team, which was bounced from Regions, came through by winning the last chance Challenge Round, qualifying them for the 2009 Ontario Scotties Tournament of Hearts. At the 2009 Ontario Scotties, the team finished the round robin with a 5-4 record, and lost in their tie-breaker match to Alison Goring.

The team brought Toronto-area curler Kelly Cochrane in at third and Trish Scharf at lead. Sister Stephanie was bumped from third to second. The team made it provincials once again in 2010, but finished with their worst record, 4-5.
