Suzanne Birt

Suzanne Birt (Born Gaudet, (pronounced "Good-ee") October 2, 1981 in Summerside, Prince Edward Island) is a Canadian curler.

Birt, a skip, is a two-time Canadian Junior Champion (2001, 2002) and a former World Junior Curling Champion (2001).

Birt had attended the 1998, 1999 and 2000 Canadian Juniors before finally winning it.

At the 2001 World Juniors, she defeated Matilda Mattsson's Swedish rink for the gold. However, the following year she would only win the bronze.

In 2003, Birt qualified for the Scott Tournament of Hearts for the first time. Her team had an impressive tournament, going 10-1 in the round-robin only to lose both their playoff games. The next year she failed expectations, and her team finished 2-9 at the 2004 Scott Tournament of Hearts. In 2005 she lost in her provincial playdowns but returned to the Scotts in 2006. At the 2006 Scott Tournament of Hearts, Birt's rink finished 4-7, and at the 2007 tournament, they finished 6-5. They did make the playoffs, but lost to Manitoba skipped by Jennifer Jones in the 3-4 game.

Suzanne was married during June 2008, becoming Suzanne Birt [Curling Scoops. [http://www.curlingscoops.com/stories/july0108.php New Name and New Team for Gaudet] .]
