- Showed non-Olympic seasons could still hit curling's top commercial tier
- Kept sponsor attention on the Slam circuit between Olympic cycles
Homan's marketability convinced Canadian brands that curling's value was not only Olympic fortnight magic. A skip who won Scotties and Slams in ordinary winters could still deliver national reach — a lesson that thickened sponsor support for the women's game year-round.
Homan's late-2010s peak was less a single gold-medal spike than a sustained commercial presence: Scotties titles, Slam wins and a Canadian sponsor stack that sports business desks routinely ranked at the top of the curling market. In CPI-adjusted dollars her best seasons sit with Jones's Olympic year — evidence the weekly product had finally caught up.
