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. However, we have also included a less objective assessment of a few exceptional teams from Manitoba’s history. When we felt a team was notable even if not successful at the highest level, those teams have also been included. Recognizing there are many teams accomplishments are notable, and which could have be included here, you are invited to suggest additions to this list by sending an email to [email protected]. HELP US RANK “THE PEOPLE’S CHOICE” TOP-25 NOTABLE MANITOBA CURLING TEAMS We have made no attempt to rank the 150 teams identified on our list – rather they are listed by the era in which they played and we have identified their competition level (M/W – Men/Women; JRM/JRW – Juniors; SRM/SRW-Seniors; MM/MW – Masters; MIX-Mixed; CWGM/CWGW – Canada Winter Games; CCM/CCW – Club Champions; WH – Wheelchair; OTH – Police/Fire/Deaf). However, we think it would be interesting to invite the public to help us identify Manitoba’s Most Notable Team over a century and a half of Manitoba history. To that end, our committee has identified 25 teams which we consider to be the most notable. We invite you to consider these 25 teams OR vote for your own Wild Card entry to this elite list. To vote, we ask for your $10 donation to the Manitoba Curling Hall of Fame & Museum as a vote for your choice. Go to CanadHelps.org by clicking on https://www.canadahelps.org/en/charities/manitoba-curling-hall-of-fame-museum-inc/p2p/most-notable-teams for our page. From there, select the name of your choice from the 25 OR select Wild Card to name your own team. Total contributions in honour of each team will determine THE PEOPLE’S CHOICE MOST NOTABLE TEAMS rankings. The deadline for voting is December 5, 2020. On December 15, we will be announcing the final results of the People’s Choice voting – compared with a ranking which will be done by committee of curling media, curling fans and elite Manitoba curlers.

  • 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.

  • Ol' Bear, Ol' Beer, Ol' Broom
    Issue 1 – Saturday, March 2, 2013 • An Official Publication of the Canadian Curling Association. Ol’ Bear, Ol’ Beer, Ol’ Broom Alberta’s Kevin Martin, Ontario’s Glenn Howard and Manitoba’s Jeff Stoughton. This trio has dominated Brier play for the past two decades and are the faves this week in Edmonton again. MIKE BURNS/CCA Page 2 2013 Tim Hortons Brier – Tankard Times Can the Bear protect his den? BY JIM MORRIS The Heart Chart The Old Bear is waiting in his den. Kevin Martin, a world and Olympic champion, wants to make history in his home town at this week’s Tim Hortons Brier. The man nicknamed The Old Bear is clawing to become the first skip to win five Brier titles. Doing it in his own back- yard would make it extra sweet. Martin and his rink of third John Morris, second Marc Ken- nedy and lead Ben Hebert rode a home-town advantage when they won the 2009 Olympic trials in Edmonton. They went on to win the gold medal at the 2010 Olympic Games in Vancou- ver. “That was awesome,” said Martin, eyes shining at the mem- ory. “The energy of the crowd is really something when you are the home team. “At the Brier . everybody is wearing their provincial col- ours. It’s just going to be a hoot.” The only other skips with four Brier wins are Randy Ferbey and Ernie Richardson. A field of 11 other teams will be laying traps from Mar- tin. Among the rinks hunting bear at this year’s competition, which begins Saturday at Rexall Place, will be Ontario’s Glenn Howard, the defending Brier and world champion who is mak- ing his record 15th appearance at the Canadian men’s curling championship; Manitoba’s Jeff Stoughton, the 2011 Brier and world champion; Brad Gushue of Newfoundland/Labrador, the 2006 Olympic gold medallist; and Quebec’s Jean-Michel Menard, the 2006 Brier champion.
