The 2017 New Brunswick Scotties Tournament of Hearts, the provincial women's curling championship of New Brunswick was held January 25 to 29 at the Miramichi Curling Club in Miramichi, New Brunswick.[1] The winning Melissa Adams team represented New Brunswick at the 2017 Scotties Tournament of Hearts in St. Catharines, Ontario.[2]

Melissa Adams of Fredericton would win her first ever provincial Scotties title. She had previously won the 1998 World Junior Curling Championships.[3] Adams had scored four points in the sixth end to defeat Saint John's Sarah Mallais rink in the final by a score of 9-6.[4] The Adams rink represented New Brunswick at the national Scotties, where they had to compete in a pre-qualifying tournament against the Yukon, Nunavut and Northwest Territories to enter the main event.[5] After going 3-0 in the round robin portion, they lost the final to the Northwest Territories and didn't enter the main draw.
