1999 – Edmonton, Alberta 2l Year 1999Briar Edmonton(Alberta capital) When word cameto us duringthe 1998Briar in Torontothat Edmontonwas chosenfor the localeof the CanadianMen's CurlingChampionship described as, "The Last Shootoutof the Century", the Friars knew that was the placewe wantedto celebratethe millennium year curling fest. Word of our acceptancewas sent back with George Friedrick who was the only Edmontonianpresent at our'98 Friars'Briar Associationannual meeting. Georgeinformed us that Don Brown and Harold Witte were alreadv thinkins about who misht be on their organizationalcommittee. Theearly brochures sent out by the EdmontonLabatt committee featured Kevin Matin directing a rock into the house.To the surpriseofmany curlingfans, the winnerproved to be onefondly rcferredto by the mediaas "the greatHunka-' who ably representedAlberta in 1999but was eliminatedliom the top five who qualifiedfor the finals. Anotheradjustment that curlingfans who havepreviously (as in'87) watchedthe gamesplayed in EdmontonColiseum, now hadto addressthe buildingas, "Sky ReachCentre". Someofthe bestgames ever seen in the final two days of play saw Howard ftom New Brunswick win over Campbellof Nova Scotia, Shymkoof Saskatchewaneliminate Howard, Jeff Stoughtonof Manitoba win over Hemming of Quebec, Quebecdefeat Saskatchewaq only to lose in the final gameto Manitoba'sJef Stoughton. Hemming'scurling skills and great sense ofhumour captured the admirationofthe fans. Fromthe tim€ of our arrivalin Edmontonuntil our departure,the friarswere well lookedafter. Most ofus, crcaturesofhabit, tendedto choosethe hotelwhere \re stayedin '87.

    Manitoba Provincial Men’s History Year of First Provincial Men’s Championship: 1925 Format: From 1925 to 1958 teams played a straight knockout format. This was played in conjunction with the MCA Bonspiel. In some years as many as 64 teams qualified. Exceptions to this included 1930 to 1932 where the MCA Bonspiel Grand Aggregate Winner was declared Provincial Champion. In 1949 a round robin format was used with 12 teams. In 1959 the current format of a maximum of 32 teams was started, however if a team qualified twice the numbers were reduced accordingly. In 1965, minimum 32 teams became the yearly number to compete. There have been various types of draws used to declare the champions over the years. In 1995, the 8 team qualifier was introduced and in 2003 the Final Four or Page Playoff was introduced.

  • LCC Curlers Recall Magic of Their Youth in Winnipeg Rinks
    Newsletter of the London Curling Club October 2015 LCC curlers recall magic of their youth in Winnipeg rinks Imagine playing in the Manitoba Curling Association bonspiel, whose entry list would grow to a record 1,576 teams in 1988, its centennial year. High schools each had 12 to 24 curling teams and their own leagues. You could curl with and against some of the big names in the sport, such as Jeff Stoughton. Welcome to Winnipeg, the curling capital of the world, where LCC members Ted Ellwood, Warren Brooke, Garth Kidd and Mike Bancroft cut their eye teeth on the roaring game. Ellwood recalls that the giant MCA bonspiel used “all the clubs in Winnipeg plus probably most of them within 20 miles of Winnipeg.” If a team kept winning it could play up to 24 games, which takes a toll on the sweepers. The strategy was to score often to prompt opponents to shake hands early and give your sweepers a rest. Brooke remembers skipping a rink in the MCA bonspiel that involved putting two junior teams together. “You started on Monday morning and finished on Saturday night.” That was potentially four games a day. The spark that triggered the rapid growth of curling in Winnipeg in those days was a combination of junior curling and popular high school leagues. Ellwood says the Deer Lodge Curling Club was actively promoting junior leagues to maintain its membership. It also had a “very competitive men’s league. I was a keen junior and I’d go there after school and hang around to spare.

That’s what Team World requires today from the 110 available in the final two skins games that will conclude the World Financial Group Continental Cup at the Langley Events Centre.

Team World sends teams skipped by Bingyu Wang of China and Thomas Ulsrud of Norway into the fray today in final matches against Stefanie Lawton and Jeff Stoughton of Canada. “I would say it looks very, very good for us,” said World coach Peja Lindholm of Sweden following the Saturday ac- tion. “It’s going to be important to take every possible point that we can.
