Michelle Englot (born January 22, 1964 in Montmartre, Saskatchewan;[2] formerly known as Michelle Ridgway[3] and Michelle Schneider[4]); is a Canadian curler from Regina, Saskatchewan.[5] She is a seven-time provincial champion skip.

Career

Englot started curling at age twelve, and represented Saskatchewan at the 1983 Canada Winter Games.

Englot played in her first Tournament of Hearts in 1988 where she finished with a 9–2 record, but lost in the semi-final to Heather Houston of Ontario. In 1989, she returned to the Hearts and finished with an 8–3 record. She once again lost to Houston in the semi-final, this time representing Team Canada as defending champions. She won her third straight provincial championship in 1990, but failed to make the playoffs at the Hearts with a 6–5 record. She returned to the Hearts in 1992 where she finished 4th with a 7–4 record, narrowly missing the 3 team playoff.

Englot didn't return to the Hearts until 2001, due to the emergence of many other great teams from Saskatchewan such as Sandra Schmirler and Sherry Anderson. At the 2001 Scott Tournament of Hearts she was no longer a favourite, and she finished 4–7. Englot played at the 2001 Canadian Olympic Curling Trials, and finished with a 5–4 record, just out of the playoffs.

In 2004, Englot played third for Randy Gilewich at the 2004 Canadian Mixed Curling Championship, the team finished with a 5–6 record.[6]

Englot returned once again to the Hearts in 2008. Englot played through adversity, having lost her father immediately before the tournament began. As a mark of respect all the teams wore green ribbons. (Green is the provincial colour of Saskatchewan). She finished with a respectable 5–6 record in front of a home town crowd.

Englot went 0–3 at the 2009 Olympic Pre-Trials, eliminating her from qualifying for the main event.

Englot would once again represent Saskatchewan at the 2012 Scotties Tournament of Hearts, where her team finished round robin play with a 5–6 record. In Draw 17, Englot defeated the defending champions, and fellow Saskatchewan curler, Amber Holland, handing her a fifth loss and eliminating her from the playoffs.
