Meghan Walter

Meghan Walter (born February 22, 2002) is a Canadian curler from Winnipeg, Manitoba.

She currently plays third on Team Kate Cameron.

She is a former World Mixed Curling Champion.

Walter skipped her own team throughout her junior career, however, struggled to make it out of the province.

In 2017, her team of third Sara Oliver, second Morgan Reimer and lead Mackenzie Elias lost the provincial junior final to Shae Bevan.

The following year, the team, now with third Erica Wiebe, went undefeated until the final where they lost to the Mackenzie Zacharias rink.

Team Walter also lost back-to-back U18 finals in 2018 and 2019 to Emma Jensen.

During the 2018 Manitoba Scotties Tournament of Hearts, Walter played third for the Lisa Hale-Menard rink.

The team finished with a 2–5 record through the round robin.

In 2018, Walter qualified for the 2019 Canadian Mixed Curling Championship in Winnipeg, playing third on the Manitoba team led by Colin Kurz.

The team finished 7–3 through the round robin and championship round to qualify for the playoffs as the second seed.

They then beat Ontario 9–1 in the semifinal before winning 7–4 over Nova Scotia in the gold medal game.

The 2019–20 season saw Team Walter win their first tour event at the Manitoba Curling Tour Classic, defeating Abby Ackland in the final.

Also during the 2019–20 season, she was the alternate on the Beth Peterson rink for the 2020 Manitoba Scotties Tournament of Hearts where the team finished 2–3.

During the 2021–22 season, Team Walter made their first appearance on the national stage when they won the right to represent Manitoba at the 2021 World Junior Qualification Event.

The team, now with third Lane Prokopowich, second Katie McKenzie and lead Mackenzie Elias finished 3–2 through the round robin to qualify for the playoffs.

They then lost to Nova Scotia's Taylour Stevens 7–4 in the quarterfinals.

Later in the season, the team qualified for the 2022 Manitoba Scotties Tournament of Hearts.

They missed the playoffs with a 1–4 record.

That season, Walter again joined Team Peterson as their alternate for the 2021 Canadian Olympic Curling Pre-Trials.

There, the team missed the playoffs after a 1–5 record.

Following their last season of juniors, Walter and Elias joined forces with Abby Ackland and Sara Oliver to form a new team for the 2022–23 season.

After a slow start, the team found their footing at the 2022 Western Showdown where they advanced all the way to the final before losing to Silvana Tirinzoni.

The team again qualified at the 2022 Curlers Corner Autumn Gold Curling Classic where they lost in the quarterfinals to Gim Eun-ji.

Team Ackland changed their lineup halfway through the season with Walter taking over as the new skip.

This switch paid off immediately with the team winning the DeKalb Superspiel in December 2022.

The team made their first Grand Slam event at the 2023 Canadian Open where they qualified for the playoffs through the B side.

They then lost in the quarterfinals to Tean Gim.

Walter herself had already played in a Slam that season, as she and Mackenzie Elias spared for the Casey Scheidegger rink at the 2022 Masters, playing third and lead on the team, which was skipped by Kate Hogan.

The team finished 2–2 through the round robin before losing a tiebreaker to Chelsea Carey.

Team Ackland competed in the 2023 Manitoba Scotties Tournament of Hearts where they finished 3–2 through the round robin.

They went on to a 5–3 record in the championship pool, enough to qualify for a tiebreaker.

There, they won 9–3 over Beth Peterson to qualify for the semifinal where they upset Kaitlyn Lawes 8–5.

In the championship game, they lost 10–5 to Jennifer Jones, ending their run.

Despite this, Team Ackland still qualified for the 2023 Scotties Tournament of Hearts as Wild Card #3 thanks to their CTRS points earned throughout the season.

At the Hearts, the team finished fifth in their pool with a 3–5 record, earning wins over the Northwest Territories, New Brunswick, and the Yukon.

The win qualified the team to represent Canada at the 2019 World Mixed Curling Championship where they dominated through the round robin with a 7–0 record.

In the playoffs, they scored wins over Sweden, Denmark and Norway to qualify for the gold medal game against Germany's Andy Kapp.

In the new year, the team won their first provincial title at the U18 championship, however, the 2020 Canadian U18 Curling Championships was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, so she never got to represent the province at the national level in U18.

At the junior championship, they missed the playoffs with a 4–3 record.
