Heather Smith (born September 21, 1972 in Sackville, New Brunswick) is a Canadian curler from Halifax, Nova Scotia. While married to Brier champion Mark Dacey, she was known as Heather Smith-Dacey.
Smith grew up in Sackville, New Brunswick. She won two provincial junior championships, in 1990 as a third for Krista Smith and in 1991 as a skip. At the 1990 Canadian Junior Curling Championships, the team finished with a 5-5 record in 5th place. However, Smith-Dacey won the 1991 Canadian Junior Curling Championships. After the round robin, the team finished third with an 8-3 record. However, the team won both the semifinal match against Alberta's Tara Brandt and then in the final against Manitoba's Jill Staub. It would be the first Women's junior title for New Brunswick. Smith-Dacey and her team of Denise Cormier, Susanne LeBlanc and Lesley Hicks were off the 1992 World Junior Curling Championships in Oberstdorf, Germany. At the World Juniors, the team finished in 5th place with a 5-4 record.
From 1993 to 1996, Smith won four straight provincial mixed titles as the third for Grant Odishaw. The team won the Canadian Mixed Curling Championship in 1994, the first mixed title for New Brunswick.
Smith then moved to Halifax, Nova Scotia and began competing there. In the meantime, she met and married Saskatchewan curler Mark Dacey, who would move to Halifax to live with her. She would win five provincial mixed titles playing third for her then-husband, Mark (2000, 2001, 2002, 2008, 2009). She won the Canadian Mixed Curling Championship in 2002 and in 2010. She and Dacey were selected to represent Canada at the 2010 World Mixed Doubles Curling Championship, but could not go due to the air travel disruption after the 2010 Eyjafjallajökull eruption. Smith-Dacey has also won three provincial women's titles: in 2000 playing third for Kay Zinck and as skip in 2004 and 2011. At the 2000 Scott Tournament of Hearts, her team lost in a tie breaker to the eventual winner Kelley Law of British Columbia, after posting a 7-4 record. At the 2004 Scott Tournament of Hearts, she finished with a 6-5 record.
