At the [[2020 Scotties Tournament of Hearts]], Team Silvernagle led Saskatchewan to a 6–5 record, finishing in fifth. It would be the team's last event of the season as both the [[Players' Championship]] and the [[Champions Cup (curling)|Champions Cup]] Grand Slam events were cancelled due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://thegrandslamofcurling.com/gsoc-cancels-remaining-events-of-2019-20-season/|title=GSOC cancels remaining events of 2019–20 season|website=Grand Slam of Curling|date=March 13, 2020|access-date=March 16, 2020|archive-date=May 30, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230530043812/https://thegrandslamofcurling.com/gsoc-cancels-remaining-events-of-2019-20-season/|url-status=dead}}</ref> On March 11, 2020, the team announced that Lawton would be stepping back from competitive curling and Thevenot would be leaving the team.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.facebook.com/teamsilvernagle/photos/a.1632680047002337/2618367761766889/?type=3&theater|title=Team Silvernagle makes changes|website=Facebook|date=March 11, 2020|access-date=March 16, 2020}}</ref> Five days later, Silvernagle and Hunkin announced that [[Kristen Streifel]] and [[Dayna Demmans|Dayna Demers]] would be joining them for the following season.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.facebook.com/teamsilvernagle/posts/2622174701386195?__xts__[0]=68.ARChKsv-5rKYOt8YXnNUhjk48VBgk04OR-m1EGVLsWRhYlQtd4O0npt0VJ9-wmSR9BqWYag4Fj5VuefI4k1XGtknwf25trnj0hoWE5NN6PgCNI974ON2DqB_dWUj8ngK-aXBJeXgXn40XQHbtPcMMfzdJ-vACPM0rjkXJ-kV8xKDBJ1Km_H1KAJlFPH_ZH8j34mhNvb0gNzuVTx8EOSuZY_0V1yJoiUV7H96IgmJ9C4FJ_ZW0RWl6sibujltA-JfnHlxb5nq9d9dLkFHe-qkuhFtCZNk6srFYA4Qio495TqcPKznk3ehMlTvivEvV39IPjl5OLAyfRsTjggHkjnQfdVSb6ep&__tn__=-R|title=Streifel, Demers to join Team Silvernagle|website=Facebook|date=March 16, 2020|access-date=March 16, 2020}}</ref>
Due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic in Saskatchewan]], the 2021 [[Saskatchewan Scotties Tournament of Hearts]] was cancelled. Despite being the defending provincial champions, Team Silvernagle did not retain three out of four team members from the previous season and could therefore not qualify as the provincial representatives. Team Sherry Anderson was then invited to represent Saskatchewan at the [[2021 Scotties Tournament of Hearts]], as they had the most points from the 2019–20 and [[2020–21 curling season|2020–21]] seasons combined, which they accepted.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.cbc.ca/sports/olympics/winter/curling/saskatchewan-provincials-covid-19-1.5873270|title=Saskatchewan cancels curling provincials after health officials reject curling bubble|work=CBC Sports|author=Devin Heroux|date=January 14, 2020|access-date=January 19, 2022}}</ref> This ended the abbreviated 2020–21 season for the newly formed Silvernagle rink.

Due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic in Canada]], the qualification process for the [[2021 Canadian Olympic Curling Trials]] had to be modified to qualify enough teams for the championship. In these modifications, [[Curling Canada]] created the [[2021 Canadian Curling Pre-Trials Direct-Entry Event]], an event where eight teams would compete to try to earn one of two spots into the [[2021 Canadian Olympic Curling Pre-Trials]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.curling.ca/blog/2021/02/04/2021-trials-process-revised/|title=2021 Trials proceess revised|work=Curling Canada|date=February 4, 2021|access-date=December 29, 2022}}</ref> Team Silvernagle qualified for the Pre-Trials Direct-Entry Event as the third seed.
