Crystal Webster (born Crystal Rumberg on February 26, 1975) is a Canadian curler from Calgary, Alberta. She currently plays with the Tracy Fleury rink on the World Curling Tour following a five-player rotating lineup.
Webster made her national curling debut at the 1994 Canadian Junior Curling Championships. This would be Webster's first and only appearance at the junior championships. Webster was skipping her own team, representing Alberta at the championship. Webster would miss the playoffs, finishing round robin with a 6-5 record.
In 1998 Webster joined up with and played lead for fellow Calgary skip Cheryl Bernard. The team would have a successful year, finishing third in the Husky Autumn Gold Classic, second in the Saskatoon Classic, winning the Skyreach Curling Classic and finished second place on the curling tour money list. The following year the team would win the JVC curling classic, and were finalists in the TSN Women's Skins game.
In 2000 the team would have their first successful run at the Alberta Scott Tournament of Hearts, where they would make it all the way to the final before losing to Heather Godberson. The team would participate in the Player's Championship, would give an Olympic Trials Berth. The team would end up losing the final. After the 2000/01 season Webster left the team.
In 2009, Webster was the first qualifier at the Canadian Olympic Pre-Trials. She surprised many, winning the A final over former World Champion Kelly Scott. At the 2009 Canadian Olympic Curling Trials, the Webster rink finished with a 2-5 record.
To date, Webster has only won two Women's World Curling Tour events, the DEKALB Superspiel in 2009 and the Colonial Square Ladies Classic in 2011. She has made it to two Grand Slam finals. She lost the 2006 Autumn Gold Slam to Kelly Scott and the 2010 Players' Championships to Cheryl Bernard.
