Allison "Alli" Flaxey (née Nimik; born February 13, 1985[1]) is a Canadian curler from Caledon East, Ontario. She is a former Canadian Mixed champion, and World Mixed Doubles bronze medalist.

Junior career

Flaxey is originally from Winnipeg, Manitoba. As a junior, she won the Manitoba Junior championships at the age of 15 in 2001 with teammates Kristin Loder, Lindsay Titheridge and Elisabeth Peters. The team finished with a 4-8 record at the 2001 Canadian Junior Curling Championships.[2]

Women's career: Manitoba

She began curling competitively playing second for Shauna Streich. As a resident of Manitoba, Flaxey won the 2009 Canadian Mixed Curling Championship (held in Autumn 2008), playing third for Sean Grassie. This qualified the two for the 2009 World Mixed Doubles Curling Championship, where they won a bronze medal.

Women's career: Alberta

In 2008, Flaxey moved to Alberta where she played competitively as third for Leslie Rogers in 2009 and 2010 and then as third for Casey Scheidegger in 2011. She made the Alberta Scotties Tournament of Hearts in all three of those seasons. Her highest finish was 4th in 2010.

Women's career: Ontario

In 2011, Flaxey moved to Ontario to form her own team. As skip, she qualified for her first Ontario Scotties Tournament of Hearts in 2012 where she finished with a 2-7 record. The following year, her team did not qualify for the Ontario Hearts, but won the event in 2014, qualifying Flaxey and her team of Katie Cottrill, Lynn Kreviazuk and Morgan Court to represent Ontario at the 2014 Ontario Scotties Tournament of Hearts. There, Flaxey led Ontario to a 3-8 record.

As defending champions, Flaxey qualified for the 2015 Ontario Scotties Tournament of Hearts, but failed to make the playoffs after posting a 4-5 record. She qualified for the 2016 Ontario Scotties Tournament of Hearts as well, but finished with a 3-6 record. However, Flaxey did win a World Curling Tour event that season, winning the KW Fall Classic.
