Lisa Weagle

Lisa Colleen Weagle (born March 24, 1985) is a Canadian curler from Ottawa, Ontario.

In her youth, she won the 2000 Ontario bantam girls curling championship playing second for the Lee Merklinger rink.

This gave the rink a 10–1 record, 2nd behind Manitoba, who went undefeated.

However, in their first playoff game against Jones, the Homan rink made amends by defeating Jones 8–5.

This put the Homan team in the final, where they faced Jones again, and this time would beat them again by a score of 9–6.

With the win, the Homan rink becomes the first Ottawa-based team to win the Canadian women's curling championship.

In Weagle's first year with her new rink, the Homan team qualified and won the 2011 Ontario Scotties Tournament of Hearts.

At the 2011 Scotties Tournament of Hearts, the Ontario team had a 4th-place finish.

She finished the round robin in 3rd place and lost in the bronze medal game to Nova Scotia's Heather Smith-Dacey after previously beating her in the 3 vs. 4 game.

A semi-final loss to Saskatchewan's Amber Holland eliminated her from the finals.

In April 2011, the team made it to their first Grand Slam final of their careers, when she lost to Jennifer Jones in the final of the 2011 Players' Championship.

Later that year, she would play in her first Canada Cup, where her team finished with a 2–4 record.

Weagle again qualified for the provincial Scotties Tournament of Hearts in 2012.

Her team went undefeated throughout the round robin.

However, the team would be bested in the final by Tracy Horgan's rink from Sudbury.

Homan, who was up one with hammer, missed a draw to the button to clinch the victory on her final rock.

Instead, she gave up three and lost.

The 2012–13 curling season was Weagle's most successful to date on the World Curling Tour.

In her first Grand Slam event of the season, the 2012 Curlers Corner Autumn Gold Curling Classic, her team lost to Sherry Middaugh in the final.

In the second Grand Slam event of the season, the 2012 Manitoba Lotteries Women's Curling Classic, Homan's rink once again lost in the final, this time to Stefanie Lawton.

The team lost in the semi-final of the third Slam, the 2012 Colonial Square Ladies Classic but followed it up with her first-ever Grand Slam victory at the 2012 Masters of Curling where she beat Chelsea Carey in the final.

Outside of the Grand Slams, Weagle won her the Royal LePage OVCA Women's Fall Classic.

Having made the playoffs in every Grand Slam event in 2012–13, the team failed to make the playoffs at the 2013 Colonial Square Ladies Classic.

Later in the season, she qualified for her second Scotties Tournament of Hearts by going undefeated at the 2013 Ontario Scotties Tournament of Hearts.

The Homan rink tore through the competition representing Ontario at the 2013 Scotties Tournament of Hearts in Kingston, Ontario.

The team lost just one game to Manitoba's Jennifer Jones.

The win earned Weagle and her team the right to represent Canada at the 2013 World Women's Curling Championship in Riga, Latvia.

At the World championships, the Homan rink led Canada to an 8–3 round robin finish, which put them in third place.

In the playoffs, they beat the United States (skipped by Erika Brown) in the 3 vs. 4 game, but they then lost to Scotland (skipped by Eve Muirhead in the semi-final, after Homan missed her last shot of the game, jamming a double takeout. After the loss, Homan would beat the Americans again, this time in the bronze medal game. The Homan rink wrapped up the season by losing in the quarter-final of the 2013 Players' Championship.

The defending Canadian champion Homan rink had a less successful start to their season in 2013–14.

The team failed to win the World Curling Tour event until winning the 2013 Masters, where she beat Muirhead in the final.

Until this point, Muirhead's rink had Homan's number, having also defeated her team in the semi-finals of the 2013 Curlers Corner Autumn Gold Curling Classic.

Homan's success over the last couple of seasons qualified her team for an automatic entry at the 2013 Canadian Olympic Curling Trials.

At the Trials, the team sneaked into the playoffs with a 4–3 round robin record, which was good enough for second place.

However, in the event's semi-final, the team would be defeated by Sherry Middaugh, ending the team's 2014 Olympic hopes.

Weagle was the lead on the Rachel Homan team from 2010 until March 12, 2020, when the team announced they would be parting ways with her.

She then joined Team Jennifer Jones for two seasons until the team disbanded on March 15, 2022.

Weagle was known for her ability to make the eponymous "Weagle" shot (also known as a tick shot), which the Homan rink had used in high frequency while she was a member of the team.

She currently coaches the Kaitlyn Lawes rink.

Weagle began curling at the age of 8 at the Granite Curling Club of West Ottawa.
