The 2023 Icebreaker Challenge was held from August 25 to 27 at the Morris Curling Club in Morris, Manitoba.[1] The event was held in a round robin format with a $6,500 purse.
In the final, Kate Cameron and her new Manitoba rink of Meghan Walter, Taylor McDonald and Mackenzie Elias capped off an undefeated week with an 8–6 win over the United States' Delaney Strouse. Trailing by two in the eighth, Cameron scored four to defeat the American squad that began their season by winning the 2023 Euro Super Series the week before. Sarah Anderson took third by defeating Kristy Watling 8–6 in the third-place game. In the seeding games, Rachel Workin finished fifth with a 10–3 win over Shaela Hayward while Katy Lukowich won 5–3 over Miranda Scheel in the seventh place game.
