Kim Dolan first made a national appearance on the curling scene in 1983. She won her first provincial championship and represented Prince Edward Island at the 1983 Scott Tournament of Hearts. Her team won four games and finished with a 4–6 round robin record. [1] She returned in 1985 where she finished with the same 4–6 record. [2] In 1987 Dolan made her third appearance at the Scott; however, this time she finished with a 1–10 record. [3] A fourth Scott appearance for Dolan came in 1990.

In 2002 Dolan was asked to play fifth for Kathy O'Rourke, who would represent Prince Edward Island at the Scott. This was the first time Dolan would make a trip to the Scott without qualifying. O'Rourke’s squad would finish 3-8 in round robin play. [9]
