Alison Kreviazuk



Alison Kreviazuk ( /krɛvˈəzək/ ;[1]  born September 27, 1988 in Mississauga, Ontario) is a Canadian curler from Ottawa. She is the longtime second for the Rachel Homan rink.

Kreviazuk has been a member of the team since it formed in 2002, except for the 2005-06 season and the 2009-10 season when she was too old to play for the team, as she is a year older than Homan and her vice, Emma Miskew.

Kreviazuk won three provincial Bantam titles on the team, before she was too old to be on the team which went on to win a fourth title. She later re-joined the team to play in Juniors, and was a member of the team that won the 2009 provincial junior championship, and lost in the Canadian finals.

Kreviazuk remained on the team the following season for World Curling Tour events and at the Canadian Olympic Curling Pre-Trials, but she was too old to play in junior events that season, and was replaced by Laura Crocker for junior events. The team won the Canadian Junior Curling Championships, and Kreviazuk was invited to play as the Alternate for the team at the 2010 World Junior Curling Championships, as the age limit for the World Juniors is a year older than that of the Canadian Juniors.

When the rest of the team graduated from the junior levels, she joined the team as a full member once again for the 2010-11 curling season. Kreviazuk won two Ontario Scotties Tournament of Hearts with the team (2011 & 2013). She has won one Grand Slam event with the team, the 2012 Masters of Curling. The rink finished fourth at the 2011 Scotties Tournament of Hearts and won both the 2013 Scotties Tournament of Hearts and 2014 Scotties Tournament of Hearts. They also won a bronze medal at the 2013 World Women's Curling Championship.

Kreviazuk graduated from the University of Ottawa in 2009 with a degree in leisure studies and she works in sales for Capital Fiat. She is the 2nd cousin of singer Chantal Kreviazuk, although Alison's surname is pronounced slightly different. Her sister is former teammate Lynn Kreviazuk.
