MICHAEL BURNS/CCA Sponsor of the Day See Sponsor Profiles on page 14 Page 2 2013 Tim Hortons Brier – Tankard Times Howard outduels longtime rival JIM MORRIS The Tankard Times His team was careening toward the ditch but Kevin Martin was finally able to grab the steering wheel and get his Alberta rink on the winning path Sunday. Martin’s crew of John Morris, Marc Kennedy and Ben Hebert mended some tattered confidence with a 10-3 win over B.C.’s Andrew Bilesky in the evening draw at the Tim Hortons Brier, presented by Monsanto. Martin’s first win after two losses came in a game he couldn’t afford to lose. “The third loss doesn’t mean you’re out, but it puts your back against the wall,” said the 46-year-old skip who is looking to win a record fifth Brier. In Sunday night’s other marquee matchup defending cham- pion Glenn Howard of Ontario remained undefeated with a 8-5 win over Manitoba’s Jeff Stoughton. Ontario is 3-0 while Stoughton dropped to 2-1. “I really liked the way we played that game,” said Howard. “We got Jeff on an off day. “We didn’t get ourselves in trouble the whole game. It felt good.” A couple of misplayed draws cost Stoughton.
