  • 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 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.
