Career

Skrlik broke onto the junior scene when she skipped Team Alberta at the 2016 U18 International Curling Championships. There, she led her team to a 3–2 round robin record, just missing the playoffs. She represented Alberta at her first junior nationals at the 2018 Canadian Junior Curling Championships.[2] At the championship, Skrlik led her team of Ashton Skrlik, Hope Sunley and Megan Johnson to a 4–2 round robin record, enough to qualify for the championship round. They then went 3–1 against the other pool, however, this was not enough to qualify for the playoffs and they finished in fourth place with a 7–3 record.[3] Also during the 2017–18 season, Skrlik played in the 2018 Humpty's Champions Cup with Team Delia DeJong. The team lost in the tiebreaker to the Val Sweeting rink.[4]

The 2019–20 season was a breakthrough season for the Skrlik rink which consisted of Lindsay Makichuk, Brittany Tran and Hope Sunley. The team won two tour events, the Medicine Hat Charity Classic and The Good Times Bonspiel and represented Canada at the 2019 Changan Ford International Curling Elite.[5] The team went 2–5 against the field in China.[6] At the 2020 Alberta Scotties Tournament of Hearts, they also finished with a 2–5 record.
