Kim Dolan
Born in Charlottetown on April 12, 1958, Dolan is one of the greatest curlers P.E.I. has ever produced. She has also been a tremendous ambassador for the sport and home province.
She started her career at the Charlottetown Curling Club in 1974, and won her first of three P.E.I. junior women’s championships that year. Dolan played lead on Gloria Basha’s rink, which repeated in 1975. Dolan played third stone on Anne Merklingler’s 1976 provincial champions.
Dolan was a member of 10 provincial women’s curling championship teams. Her first trip to the nationals was in 1983, followed by appearances in 1985, 1987, 1990, 1992, 2012 and 2014. She skipped in seven of those appearances. Her best finish was fourth in the 1995 Scott Tournament of Hearts with the Rebecca Jean MacPhee-skipped rink, which also won in 1997 and 1999.
Dolan also chaired national curling events, including the 1999 and 2011 Scotties Tournament of Hearts in Charlottetown, and was involved in an active curling school program.
