Career
She throws third rocks for Jackie Lockhart. She has also played in four World Curling Championships, winning a bronze in 2007 as the alternate for Scotland (skipped by Kelly Wood). She did not play any games.
At the 2008 Ford World Women"s Curling Championship, after her team had a disappointing performance, skip Gail Munro was told by the National Coach Derek Brown that she was not playing the last two games, inciting protest from third Lyndsay Wilson, who as a result of this protest was also told she was not playing.
This forced the team to play with just three players, with Addison skipping. Karen Addison was part of a squad selected to compete in the British curling team for the 2010 Winter Olympic Games, only weeks away from the event she was told that she would be the traveling alternate and after challenging this decision she was deselected.
