2005 Ontario Scott Tournament of Hearts

The championship banner won by the Hanna rink hangs on the wall of the Ottawa Curling Club.

The 2005 Ontario Scott Tournament of Hearts, Ontario's provincial women's curling championship, was held January 24–30 at the Rideau Curling Club in Ottawa. The winning team of Jenn Hanna would go on to represent Ontario at the 2005 Scott Tournament of Hearts in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador.

Hanna's win would be her only provincial championship in her career. It would also be the lone provincial championship for her team mates, third Pascale Letendre and her sister, lead Stephanie Hanna. Her second Dawn Askin would later move to Manitoba to play lead for Jennifer Jones and win several provincial, national and one world championships there.

Hanna's rink from the nearby Ottawa Curling Club had a slow start at the event, and had a 1-4 record at one point. However, they pulled off eight straight wins to win the championship. At the national Scott Tournament of Hearts, the rink had a similar slow start before rallying to make the playoffs before losing in the final to Manitoba's Jones.

The defending champion Sherry Middaugh rink failed to qualify.
