Team Saskatchewan, who was skipped by Sandra Schmirler won the tournament after beating Alison Goring's Ontario rink in the final 8–5. This was Saskatchewan's tenth title overall (eleven including Team Canada) and the third and final one skipped by Schmirler before her death in 2000. At the time, Schmirler joined Connie Laliberte and Vera Pezer as the only skips to win three championships.

Schmirler's rink would go onto represent Canada at the 1997 Ford World Women's Curling Championship in Bern, Switzerland, which they also won. Additionally, they also qualified for the 1997 Canadian Olympic Curling Trials, which they qualified for the 1998 Winter Olympics where they captured the gold medal.

Schmirler was previously selected in 1987 and 1993, Betker in 1987 and 1994, and McCusker in 1994 and 1995.

Diana Doe Award

The Scotties Tournament of Hearts Sportsmanship Award is presented to the curler who best embodies the spirit of curling at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts. The winner was selected in a vote by all players at the tournament.

Prior to 1998, the award was named after a notable individual in the curling community where the tournament was held that year. For this edition, the award was named after Diana Doe, who was a player and coached junior teams in Saskatchewan, Alberta, and British Columbia. She also was an executive of the British Columbia Curling Association, serving as president in 1989 and was a director of Curling Canada for many years.[7]

Team Ontario skip Alison Goring became the first curler to ever receive the sportsmanship award on three different occasions as she previously won in 1991 and 1995.
