They saved the best for last as the final playoff positions were determined during a wild night of excitement during the last round- robin draw Friday at the Tim Hor- tons Brier, presented by Monsanto. The final piece of the puzzle fell into place when Manitoba’s Jeff Stoughton delivered a last-rock draw to the button for a 6-5 extra end victory over B.C.’s Andrew Bilesky, who was playing for noth- ing but pride. Alberta skip Kevin Martin could only watch his playoff hopes dis- appear as Stoughton celebrated the victory. Martin used a last-rock draw of his own for a 6-5 win that handed Ontario’s Glenn Howard his first loss. But Martin couldn’t overcome a horrible start to the week and won’t have a chance to win a record fifth Brier. “That was the most exciting evening I have ever been involved in curling,” said Howard, who fin- ished first with a 10-1 record. “I thoroughly enjoyed that evening.” Howard will now play Stoughton (8-3) in Saturday afternoon’s 1-2 game. Brad Gushue of Newfound- land & Labrador (8-3) faces Brad Jacobs of Northern Ontario (8-3) in the 3-4 game. Jacobs secured a playoff spot when he scored three points in the 10th end for a 5-3 win over Paul Flemming of Nova Scotia (1-10). “There’s relief and I’m elated by this,” said Jacobs. “We really wanted to come here and do as well as we could. “We made the playoffs.

  • 1 Curling Club Championship Eligibility
    Curling Club Championship Eligibility Requirements The Curling Club Championships Rules have been updated allowing Member Associations flexibility in staging their championships and reducing any interpretation of eligibility. The principles of this event target non-elite teams (grassroots club curlers) who regularly compete in their clubs. Teams, however, are no longer limited to being the club champion to be considered eligible. The changes will allow Member Associations to control the number of entries in their jurisdictions. For example, Curl Sask prefers to allow any eligible team to enter the regional playdowns. Or, Curl ON prefers to restrict the number of entries per club to a maximum of one. Either is acceptable. Curling Club Championship Eligibility Requirements We trust all curling rinks will respect the intent of the spirit of the Curling Club Championships by engaging their members to participate and to represent their curling club in any process leading to the provincial / territorial championships and ultimately, leading to the Canadian Curling Club Championships. The event was created for true club-based teams. The objective is to support the development of grassroots curling across Canada. Here are the eligibility requirements for events leading to the national Curling Club Championships. Curling Canada reserves the right to exclude any team that violates the spirit and intent of this event as it pertains to the rules below. 1) Participating curling clubs must be affiliated with its Provincial / Territorial Curling Association. They must be in good standing with all applicable dues to the Association paid in full. 2) Any competitor (including 5th players and spares) must be members in good standing of an affiliated curling club for the duration of the process.

  • The Selection and Role of the Fifth Player
    Vol.1 No. 7 The Selection and Role of the Fifth Player (a subsidiary of TRUE NORTH CURLING INC.) PRESENTS THE COACHING SERIES… “A PANE IN THE GLASS” Foreword by Bill Tschirhart It is a pleasure for True North Coaching to publish an essay by someone who very likely never dreamed he’d be the coach of an Olympic champion. Sometimes the best things in life happen when we least anticipate they might. Such is the case with Toby McDonald. Until the Torino Winter Olympic Games, his most notable curling achievement by far was a Brier title in 1976 as the mate for Jack MacDuff. It is still Newfoundland & Labrador’s only Brier championship but when Brad Gushue needed a coach for his team’s run at the Curling Trials leading to the Torino Winter Olympic Games, Toby was the one the team wanted and a great choice it was! By now, several books have been written about Team Gushue’s Gold Medal performance in Torino and I’m personally pleased that many of the authors have noted the contribution Toby made. All was not blue skies and roses for Team Canada during those Olympic Games and had it not been for the expertise of Toby, the result might have been very different! Toby sent this essay to me several months ago re. the role of the fifth player and how to ultimately select someone for this most misunderstood position. I asked if he might allow me to publish it in the “A Pane in the Glass” series which he graciously has done.
