Heather Nedohin (born Heather Godberson; July 15, 1975) is a Canadian curler from Sherwood Park, Alberta. She is a former Canadian and World Junior champion, two-time Tournament of Hearts Champion and a two-time World bronze medalist. She is married to three time World Champion David Nedohin.
Born in Fort St. John, British Columbia, Nedohin's family moved to Alberta.
Nedohin won her first and only Alberta provincial junior curling title in 1996. This earned her, and her Grande Prairie rink of third Carmen Whyte, second Kristie Moore and lead Terelyn Bloor the right to represent Alberta at the 1996 Canadian Junior Curling Championships in Edmonton. The team finished the round robin with a 9-3 record, tied for first with Nova Scotia's Meredith Doyle. By virtue of beating Doyle in the round robin, Nedohin earned a bye to the final where she met Saskatchewan's Cindy Street who beat Doyle in the semi-final. Nedohin beat Street 7-5, earning her rink a berth in the 1996 World Junior Curling Championships in Red Deer, Alberta.
At the 1996 World Juniors, the team placed third after the round robin, with a 7-2 record, behind Sweden's Margaretha Lindahl and Swtizerland's Nadja Heuer. However, they beat Switzerland in the semi-final, 6-4, and then beat 4th place Scotland's Julia Ewart 7-6 in the final, earning the team the gold medal.
After Juniors, Nedohin joined the Cathy Borst (King) rink as the team's third. As a member of the Borst rink, Nedohin won her first provincial title in 1997. This qualified the team for the 1997 Scott Tournament of Hearts, representing Alberta. The team finished the round robin in a three-way tie for 2nd place with a 7-4 record. However, the rink lost the 3 vs. 4 page playoff game against Newfoundland's Laura Phillips.
