  • Champions & Grand Aggregate Winners
    CHAMPIONS & GRAND AGGREGATE WINNERS Annual Bonspiel of the Manitoba Branch of the Royal CalCaleeeedoniandonian Curling Club 1889 ––– 1907 MCA ANNUAL BONSPIEL 1908 ––– 2013 MANITOBA OPEN BONSPIEL 2014 ––– present CurlManitoba – Bonspiel Champions & Aggregate Winners Since 1889 ( December 1, 2020 ) Page 1 Manitoba’s 150 th anniversary celebration provides motivation for review of history in many areas, including Manitoba proud curling heritage. This document accumulates together, for the first time, an acknowledgement of all of the Manitoba Curling Association’s annual bonspiel “champions”. The project was initiated by Les Ferris of Holland, inspired by local history which tells the story of Holland’s Hector McLean team returning home to a brass-band reception after winning the MCA’s annual bonspiel in 1900. Ferris’ first research was possible thanks to a set of early MCA annual publications, originally collected by Stan Oleson and Ab Gowanlock. The research effort of MCA ‘historians’ Rick Mutton and Heather Helston is acknowledged and appreciated as an additional foundation of this document. The support of Heidi Rees, Reference Services, Manitoba Legislative Library is also much appreciated. Reference has been made to archive copies of the annual bonspiel programmes (which evolved into the association’s annual publication). Archive copies of the Winnipeg Free Press, Manitoba Morning Free Press, and Winnipeg Tribune have provided key insights into the bonspiels of the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. In addition, reference has also been made to the Morris Mott/John Allardyce book Curling Capital: Winnipeg and the Roarin’ Game, 1876 to 1988 and to the archives of thecurler.com. The documented was drafted by Resby Coutts on behalf of CurlManitoba and the Manitoba Curling Hall of Fame & Museum.

  • Manitoba Provincial Mixed History
    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. Sponsors: 1925 – 1979 British Consols – (MacDonald Tobacco) 1980 – 1994 Tankard – (Labatt’s Manitoba Brewery) 1995 - 2006 Safeway Select – (Canada Safeway Limited) 2007 - 2015 Safeway Championship- (Canada Safeway Limited) 2016 - Viterra Year of First Canadian Men’s Championship: 1927 Manitoba Teams Winning Canadian Men’s Championship 1928 Gordon Hudson, Sam Penwarden, Ron Singbush, Bill Grant 1929 Gordon Hudson, Don Rollo, Ron Singbush, Bill Grant 1930 Howard Wood Sr. Jimmy Congalton, Victor Wood, Lionel Wood 1931 Robert Gourley, Ernie Pollard, Arnold Lockerbie, Ray Stewart 1932 Jimmy Congalton, Howard Wood Sr. Bill Noble, Harry Mawhinney 1934 Leo Johnson, Lorne Stewart, Linc Johnson, Marno Frederickson 1936 Ken Watson, Grant Watson, Marvin McIntyre, Charles Kerr 1938 Ab Gowanlock, Bung Cartmell, Bill McKnight, Tom McKnight 1940 Howard Wood Sr.

  • 150 Notable Manitoba Curling Teams
    150 NOTABLE MANITOBA CURLING TEAMS In honour of Manitoba’s 150 th Anniversary, the Manitoba Curling Hall of Fame and Museum has undertaken to identify 150 teams which played a significant role in creating (in the early years) and extending (in more recent times) Manitoba’s reputation for competitive excellence in the world of curling. Our list acknowledges teams from all competitive sectors from the high-profile junior and men’s and women’s teams to less well-known teams at the mixed, senior, and masters levels and even outside the association realm in the deaf, police and postal championship realms. All of these successful teams played roles in establishing Manitoba’s well-deserved reputation. We also acknowledge recent successes in the new discipline of Mixed Doubles but this historical perspective is focussed on the traditional four-person game. INVITATION TO THE PUBLIC TO ADD TO THE LIST: A total of 150 teams were identified initially. Subsequently two missed teams have been added so the list now includes 152 teams. There are many other teams across Manitoba’s curling history which also belong on a listing of this nature. Manitoba curling fans are invited to suggest other teams for inclusion. In most cases, the teams are included on this list on the basis of the team’s on-ice success in a single outstanding year OR across a series of years. In the latter case, we have acknowledged that so long as three people remained on a team from a previous recorded success – then it was still the same team.

The day started with the arrival of the coveted Scott Tournament THE PROS of Hearts (STOH) Trophy, delivered in person by glove-clad Peter Inch, 2006 STOH President, and Jim Waite, 2006 STOH Director of Officials, Stats and Timers and CCA National Curling Coach. A morning Media Conference was held to bring local media up to date about the progress of the STOH and to introduce Team Canada … Jennifer Jones, Cathy Overton-Clapham, Jill Officer and Georgina Wheatcroft (photo, from right to left). Reporters and photographers from the London area viewed a promotional video about the Scott Tournament of Hearts (taking place in London from February 25 to March 5 at the JLC), took photos of Canada’s “Number One” curling team, and participated in a question-and-answer session with Peter Inch and Jennifer Jones and the members of her team.

  • Curling in Canada Stephen G. Wieting and Danny Lamoureux North
    Curling in Canada1 Stephen G. Wieting and Danny Lamoureux North American fans of sport long have recognized the prominence of Canadians in ice hockey. Ever since cable television services expanded in the 1980’s to offer both US and Canadian viewers programs with live coverage of the other countries’ sporting events (and as this television industry capital allowed Canadian Football League franchises to bid for United States college stars), US football fans have admired the wide-open style of the Canadian Football League. These presumed dominant Canadian sports aside, the rink of Sandra Schmirler, the four-member team she led to the 1998 Gold Medal in Nagano, was named ‘Canada’s Team’ in 1998 instead of the Grey Cup champion Calgary Stampeders of the Canadian Football League and Canadian hockey franchises within the National Hockey League.2 World championships have been contested for men in curling since 1957 and women since 1979, and there are few sports of any kind that have witnessed so commanding a dominance by a nation of a sport as Canada in curling. The long and venerable tradition of curling in Canada is relatively unknown to fans and sport scholars outside that country. This general gap in international attention to the sport and its very uniqueness suggest its potent value as a resilient example of sport and cultural memory – that is, how portions of Canada’s cultural legacy are remembered in sports writing, idealized athletic images, and national celebrations of a sporting endeavor. The very recent emergence of the sport onto an international viewing stage provides in sharp detail as well a record of how the history of a national sport and the special features of its performers negotiate the necessary but often treacherous channels leading to global attention.

The Kruger name is identified with leading bathroom tissue, paper towels, facial tissue and paper napkin brands in Canada. Canada long ago distinguished itself as the number one curling nation. It’s acknowledged throughout the world that nowhere is competition as keen and the path to the top so strewn with obstacles as in Canada. At the 1988 Winter Olympics held in Calgary, curling was a demonstration sport. The Canadian Women's team, skipped by Vancouver's Linda Moore, the 1985 World Champions, captured the gold medal. Julie Sutton's team from Victoria, the winner of the 1991 Scotties Tournament of Hearts, represented Canada at the 1992 Winter Olympics in France.

You’ll find RT contact and deadline details on page 2. Thanks to LCC member Karen Lowry for sharing this photo of the presentation ceremonies from the l986 London STOH. The somber expressions on the faces of Team Canada members are evidence of their disappointment at losing the championship event to Team Darte, skipped by Marilyn Darte (now Bodogh). Members of Team Canada that year were Linda Moore, Lyndsey Sparks, Debbie Jones and Laurie Carney. Rae Moir was their coach. Karen Lowry was the team driver and is pictured here holding the flag. Former LCC member Jeanne Mcdonald was sign holder. Karen, Jean and dozens of other LCC members dedicated many hours of volunteer time to the l986 STOH. February is “Hearts” month!! LCC Bartender John Spetman is concocting 2006 STOH a “Silver Hearts Valentine’s Special” cocktail (in We all look forward with Day alcoholic and non- great anticipation to the alcoholic form) for the Women’s Daytime long-awaited Scott Division Annual Two-day Bonspiel on Tournament of Hearts March 6 and 7.
