Curlmanitoba<br />
President’s Message<br />
here are historical references to curling being played in the Red<br />
t River Settlement before <strong>Manitoba</strong> became a province in 1870.<br />
The fi rst club, the <strong>Manitoba</strong> <strong>Curling</strong> Club was established in 1876.<br />
However, the recorded history of ‘organized curling’ in <strong>Manitoba</strong> began<br />
the December day in 1888 when representatives of seven clubs met to<br />
form an association. Hence in 2012-13 we celebrate our organization’s<br />
125 th offi cial season.<br />
Over the years, the <strong>Manitoba</strong> <strong>Curling</strong> <strong>Association</strong> (now Curl<strong>Manitoba</strong>,<br />
originally the <strong>Manitoba</strong> Branch of the Royal Caledonian <strong>Curling</strong> Club)<br />
has been recognized for excellence of our curlers, for leadership at the<br />
national and international level, but perhaps most of all for running<br />
the world’s largest and longest running annual Men’s Bonspiel,<br />
which will also celebrate its 125 th anniversary in 2013. It is perhaps<br />
not surprising the MCA Bonspiel is so closely tied to our worldwide<br />
Resby Coutts<br />
President<br />
Morris/Fort Rouge<br />
reputation. In their book, written in tribute to the 100 th anniversary in 1988, Morris Mott and John<br />
Allardyce described the reasons for establishment of the organization this way.<br />
“At their gatherings in the early to mid-1880’s, as well as in their local clubs, the curlers discussed<br />
the possibility of forming an association for the West. It would become an affi liate of the RCCC<br />
in Scotland – just as eastern Canadian associations had. Through that affi liation, western<br />
curlers would be able to keep in touch with the parent body of their sport, as well as with world<br />
developments in technique, equipment and strategy. More important, through an association,<br />
western curlers would hold an annual bonspiel. Such an event would allow them to assemble<br />
regularly for fun and good fellowship. It would also provide a means through which western teams<br />
might show they could play their game as well as anyone, and thereby prove to themselves and the<br />
world that the sport was well entrenched in the region.”<br />
I think it fair to say the leaders who met that day (December 6, 1888) to formalize establishment<br />
of the organization would say those objectives have been met. As we celebrate the 125 th bonspiel<br />
in January 2013, there is no question that a very large amount of ‘fun and fellowship’ have taken<br />
place over the previous 124 events.<br />

Curl<strong>Manitoba</strong> yearbooK – 2012/13
As we celebrate the Canadian <strong>Curling</strong> Trials, the Tim Hortons Roar of the Rings presented by Monsanto,<br />
in December 2013, there is no question ‘western teams have shown they can play the game as well<br />
as anyone and that the sport is well entrenched in the region”. And yet I have to wonder what those<br />
leaders from 125 years ago would think of the organization they established. They responded to the<br />
needs of the sport of curling in their time in the way they considered most appropriate.<br />
I believe they would applaud the efforts of Curl<strong>Manitoba</strong> to respond to the needs of the sport<br />
in our changing times. I believe they would applaud the current leaders of the organization for<br />
recognizing the challenges facing the sport at the local and community level must take precedence<br />
over a need to prove ‘we can play the game as well as anyone’.<br />
We take great pride in the accomplishments of the elite curlers who represent <strong>Manitoba</strong> nationally<br />
and internationally. We take great pride in the accomplishments of <strong>Manitoba</strong>-born competitors<br />
who represent other jurisdictions nationally and internationally. And we take great pride in the<br />
desire to excel and the effort required by those who would challenge to reach that level.<br />
If we are to properly honour the memory of those who have gone before us in <strong>Manitoba</strong> curling, however,<br />
it is the role of Curl<strong>Manitoba</strong> to focus our attention on the future. And the future lies in working with the<br />
organizations and curling facilities, and their participating members, in ensuring our sport is available for all.<br />
For those who want to play this great game for the sheer joy of the game, the fun and the fellowship, as<br />
well as for those who want to excel and challenge, to prove they can play the game as well as anyone.<br />
Curl<strong>Manitoba</strong> is more than just its Board of Directors, its staff and its volunteers. It is every curler and every<br />
building where the game is played across the province. In tribute to the vision of the founders 125 years<br />
ago, I urge all of us to re-dedicate ourselves to the future of our great sport. Not for personal benefit or<br />
satisfaction but to ensure our sport of curling maintains its rightful place in <strong>Manitoba</strong>’s sports landscape.<br />
(Publisher’s Note: Re-elected for 2012-13, Resby Coutts joined J.B. Mather Granite, the<br />
1888-89 & 1889-90 President, as the only person to serve consecutive terms. In 125 years,<br />
only two others served a second term as President; J.W O’Grady-Assiniboine (1907-08 &<br />
1911-12) and Robert Jacob-St John’s (1926-27 & 1937-38).<br />
We leave no stone unturned<br />

o<br />
n behalf of the Province and people of <strong>Manitoba</strong>, I am delighted to greet<br />
readers of the 2012-2013 Curl<strong>Manitoba</strong> <strong>Yearbook</strong>. As the weather turns<br />
cool, tens of thousands of <strong>Manitoba</strong>ns look forward to another season of friendly<br />
competition on the ice.<br />
The sport of curling has a long and rich history in our province. Year after<br />
year, <strong>Manitoba</strong> teams take their place atop podiums across the country and<br />
in the process inspire young athletes to strive for excellence. This tradition of<br />
achievement lives on through dedicated competitors like yourselves whose<br />
commitment to the sport makes it one of the most popular pastimes of our<br />
province. Whether you are just starting out or are aiming for the provincial<br />
championship, it is sure to be a great year.<br />
2012-2013 is particularly special because it will see the 125 th Annual MCA Men’s Bonspiel. Already the<br />
world’s largest bonspiel, this season’s competition will give <strong>Manitoba</strong>’s many curling families an opportunity to<br />
reflect on how much the game has meant to them. Congratulations on this milestone!<br />

Premier of <strong>Manitoba</strong><br />

sPort mAnItobA<br />
o<br />
n behalf of Sport <strong>Manitoba</strong> it gives me great pleasure to welcome the<br />
many thousands of curlers across our province to another roaring season.<br />
Many enthusiasts at both the recreational and competitive level enjoy curling,<br />
making it one of the province’s largest participation sports. The significance of the<br />
sport in <strong>Manitoba</strong> and its contribution to the foundation of our sport community<br />
is invaluable. As a life long sport, curling contributes to the physical and social<br />
well-being of participants while fostering community and volunteer development.<br />
The success of curling in our province is a result of the leadership and support<br />
provided by Curl<strong>Manitoba</strong> and experienced, dedicated and industrious volunteers.<br />
From grassroots programs to building Olympians, <strong>Manitoba</strong>’s curling programs<br />
have enabled us to become a leader in Canada.<br />
The development of the Sport for Life Centre, a first in Canada, ensures that <strong>Manitoba</strong> continues to lead<br />
the way. Once completed, the Sport for Life Centre will profoundly improve access to sport and sport training<br />
across <strong>Manitoba</strong>.<br />
On behalf of Sport <strong>Manitoba</strong>, I extend best wishes to all curlers and the Curl<strong>Manitoba</strong> for another<br />
successful season.<br />

A vOICE IN THE FUTURE OF CURLING<br />
Facilities, clubs and associates represent their participants and provide their curlers with a voice in curling at<br />
the provincial level through representation and a vote at the Curl<strong>Manitoba</strong> AGM. Clubs also have the right<br />
to have a member stand for election. In addition clubs have a voice in the growth of curling in <strong>Manitoba</strong> and<br />
Canada through regional meetings, and communication with board and staff.<br />
FINANCIAL SUppORT<br />
Curl<strong>Manitoba</strong> members have access to a number of grants to assist them in facility and program development.<br />
These grants include bingo grants, the Curl<strong>Manitoba</strong> Development Fund, travel grants, and hosting grants.<br />
Curl<strong>Manitoba</strong> recently secured a group rate on debit and credit card rates to help clubs save money. We have<br />
also initiated a group fundraising effort to provide clubs, leagues and curlers the opportunity to raise valuable<br />
funds. Clubs also have the opportunity to host events, which can be a very important fundraiser for clubs.<br />
COMMUNICATION AND NETwORkING<br />
Symposiums and seminars assist clubs in recruiting new members, improved facility operations, marketing,<br />
volunteer recruitment and networking. Access to Curl<strong>Manitoba</strong> mail-outs helps to promote bonspiels, leagues,<br />
programs and services. Opportunities to advertise and submit articles to the e-newsletter and website. A page<br />
on the Curl<strong>Manitoba</strong> website to promote your facility, club or league. We provide opportunities for junior<br />
curling coordinators to meet and share ideas and resources to help improve their program.<br />
kNOwLEDGE<br />
Curl<strong>Manitoba</strong> continues to work with clubs and curlers to provide new resources to help run leagues and<br />
programs. We provide junior curling coordinators with all the resources needed to run a junior curling league.<br />
We have developed new programs such as the Tots and Rocks and Road Show programs to help provide<br />
14<br />
curlmanitoba YEarbooK – 2012/13
clubs with new opportunities to draw in new curlers and revenue for their clubs. Curl<strong>Manitoba</strong> provides its<br />
members with the opportunity to have draws made for its leagues and bonspiels. Scorecards and draw sheets are<br />
also provided free of charge. Our world-class ice technicians will come and work with facilities to evaluate the<br />
building, rocks, ice equipment, etc and provide recommendations or work with a club to improve conditions, etc.<br />
pARTICIpANT BENEFITS<br />
Participants receive individual benefits through their membership in Curl<strong>Manitoba</strong>. Many of the benefits that<br />
participants receive come indirectly to them through their clubs. These indirect benefits include improved facilities<br />
through facility grants and visits by our world-class ice technicians helping to improve ice conditions for curlers.<br />
pERSONAL DEvELOpMENT<br />
Curlers are given the opportunity for skill development through clinics, lessons, and access to training<br />
resources such as manuals, CD’s, DVD’s and video analysis. Members interested in becoming coaches can<br />
receive training through coaching certification course and a variety of professional development opportunities.<br />
Improved coaching also assists those curlers who choose to work with a certified coach. We also provide<br />
opportunities for members to become ice technicians and officials. Curl<strong>Manitoba</strong> also has a number of<br />
different opportunities for individuals to volunteer providing valuable experience that can be used in their<br />
home club or outside the curling community and in everyday life.<br />
COMpETITIONS<br />
These competitions include regional playoffs, berth bonspiels, bonspiels, <strong>Manitoba</strong> Winter Games and Canada<br />
Games Trials. These competitions provide curlers with the opportunity to test their skills, meet other curlers<br />
and have fun social outings. In addition for those interested in going on, the opportunity to compete to<br />
represent <strong>Manitoba</strong> and Canada.<br />
kNOwLEDGE AND RECOGNITION<br />
We assist a number of leagues and bonspiels each year with making draws. We provide many of the rules that<br />
curlers curl by in leagues and bonspiels. We provide resources for league coordinators to help them improve<br />
the curling experience for curlers. Curl<strong>Manitoba</strong> provides recognition for curlers in the form of awards for<br />
8-enders, recognition of outstanding achievements, and for service to the sport of curling through Honourary<br />
Life Membership and a Volunteer Recognition program. Curl<strong>Manitoba</strong> also provides a number of scholarships<br />
each year to junior curlers.<br />
A vOICE IN THE FUTURE OF CURLING<br />
Through representation at the Curl<strong>Manitoba</strong> AGM curlers also have the right to stand for election to the<br />
Curl<strong>Manitoba</strong> Board of Directors. In addition curlers have a voice in the growth of curling in <strong>Manitoba</strong> and<br />
Canada through regional meetings and communication with board and staff.<br />
SOME OF THE INTANGIBLES<br />
Television: Events such as the Safeway Championship are put on television and online so curling fans can<br />
enjoy the action.<br />
Major Events: Curl<strong>Manitoba</strong> works to bring events such as the Olympic Trials, Brier and Scotties Tournament of<br />
Hearts to our province so <strong>Manitoba</strong> curling fans can watch the best curlers in their own backyard without having<br />
to travel. These events are also important sources of revenue used to fund things like the Development Fund.<br />

n behalf of the Executive and Board of Directors of the <strong>Manitoba</strong> <strong>Curling</strong><br />
Hall-of-Fame and Museum, I am pleased to extend a welcome and greeting<br />
to all the curlers and curling fans. I wish you all success and sportsmanship during<br />
the 2012-2013 season.<br />
Last year, we celebrated 25 years of honouring those who have made curling<br />
the great sport we enjoy today, the curlers, builders, curler builders and teams.<br />
The Hall-of-Fame looks forward to continued recognition and celebrating the<br />
accomplishments within the curling fraternity.<br />
We should be very proud, as we are the only ones in Canada to have a place<br />
where we can honour our curlers.<br />
The Hall-of-Fame appreciates and thanks Curl<strong>Manitoba</strong> for their continued support and also to our founding<br />
members and volunteers for the many hours given in support of curling. Please mark your calendars for<br />
Sunday, May 5, 2013 for our 26th annual <strong>Manitoba</strong> <strong>Curling</strong> Hall-of-Fame Induction Dinner at the CanadInn<br />

rae hainstoCK<br />
Rae, who has been a member of the Burntwood <strong>Curling</strong> Club in Thompson, MB since<br />
1970, is one of only three Honourary Life Members of the Club.<br />
He fi rst joined the executive in 1971, where he helped set up the inaugural “shift<br />
league” for those working at the INCO mine. As a member of the Burntwood <strong>Curling</strong><br />
Club executive for most of the last 40 years, Rae served as President for four terms.<br />
He chaired committees for the 1994 Tankard, and both Scott Tournament of Hearts<br />
held in Thompson. He was also chairman for numerous Men’s, Mixed, Seniors and<br />
Masters zone and district playoffs.<br />
Rae joined the MCA (Curl<strong>Manitoba</strong>) board in 2007 when it still consisted of about 44 members. He served<br />
on the championship review committee, served one year after the board changed to the current format of 12<br />
members, and took on more of a “management” role. After deciding that a more “hands on” relationship<br />
with the clubs in the Norman District was more suited to his skill set, he served one year on the Curl<strong>Manitoba</strong><br />
management board and acted as the Norman District Liaison and recruited a suitable replacement to<br />
represent the north on the Curl<strong>Manitoba</strong> board. He focused on the operational side (District Liaison) of<br />
dealing with clubs spread over the ~800 kilometre range on the great white north.<br />
Rae is honoured and humbled to be recognized as an Honourary Life Member of Curl<strong>Manitoba</strong>, and hopes<br />
to remain actively involved after his recent relocation to Brandon.<br />
Cindy MaddoCK<br />
Cindy started curling on natural ice at the Rathwell <strong>Curling</strong> Club in the early 1970’s.<br />
She has been a member of the Morden club since 1981 and has also been a member<br />

After serving actively as a Morden <strong>Curling</strong> Club volunteer and committee member<br />
of four provincial championships held in Morden, including acting as Co-Chair of the<br />
2003 Scott Tournament of Hearts, Cindy became a provincial volunteer.<br />
Cindy became actively involved in the Provincial MLCA just prior to the<br />
amalgamation with MCA in 2000 and what is now known as Curl<strong>Manitoba</strong>. She joined the MCA Board<br />
of Directors in 2000 as the MCA Central Regional Director for 2000/2001 year and was elected to the<br />
Management Committee from 2001-2005. In 2006, she was elected as the Central Regional Director<br />
and again was elected to the Management Committee from 2007-2009, then elected to Vice President<br />
Curl<strong>Manitoba</strong> 2009/2010 and President Curl<strong>Manitoba</strong> 2010/2011. As Past President Curl<strong>Manitoba</strong> she was<br />
then nominated by Curl<strong>Manitoba</strong> to run for the Canadian <strong>Curling</strong> <strong>Association</strong> Board of Governors. After being<br />
elected as a CCA Board of Governor, Cindy resigned her position of Past President in September 2011.<br />
During her years on the Curl<strong>Manitoba</strong> Board, Cindy was Event Liaison for seven different provincial<br />
championships. She also held positions as the MCA Communications & Club Liaison Chair 2002, MCA Rules<br />
Committee Chair 2003, MCA Technical & Development Chair 2003, MCA Review Chair <strong>Curling</strong> Hall-of-Fame<br />
& Museum 2004, MCA Rep <strong>Manitoba</strong> <strong>Curling</strong> Foundation 2004-2006, MCA <strong>Manitoba</strong> <strong>Curling</strong> Foundation<br />
Secretary 2006-2009, MCA Board Development Committee 2008-2009 and is a member of the Curl<strong>Manitoba</strong><br />
Development Fund Committee from 2009-2012.<br />
Volunteering in the sport of curling has been both fulfi lling and rewarding for Cindy. She has met and<br />
worked with many wonderful people and will cherish those friendships. Cindy is extremely honoured and very<br />
humbled to receive an Honourary Life Membership in Curl<strong>Manitoba</strong>.<br />

will govern Curl<strong>Manitoba</strong>.<br />
Marlene has been on the Board of the <strong>Manitoba</strong> <strong>Curling</strong> Hall-of-Fame. She was on the organizing<br />

was able to work closely with the boys and girls teams from Japan.<br />
Marlene has been a member of the Thistle Business Girls <strong>Curling</strong> Club since the late 1980’s and has held<br />
the positions of MLCA Working Delegate, Treasurer, Secretary, President and Past President. She was also the<br />

he Ladies Past Presidents’ <strong>Association</strong> is an<br />
independent organization devoted to the<br />
fellowship of curling. Any woman who has been president<br />
of any curling club or league, whether in <strong>Manitoba</strong><br />
or anywhere in the world, may become a member of<br />
the association. Members meet for an annual one-day<br />
bonspiel and luncheon the third week in November,<br />
usually at the President’s home club. Bonspiel teams are<br />
“drawn from a hat” by the draw committee and many<br />
Past Presidents who no longer curl attend the bonspiel<br />
to renew friendships and cheer on the curlers. A spring<br />
luncheon meeting is held on the first Monday in May.<br />
This is the 80th anniversary year of our <strong>Association</strong><br />
and all women who have been President of any club or<br />
league are invited to join us and help celebrate the fun,<br />
friendships and memories we’ve all received through<br />
curling. Most curling clubs have a representative to<br />
keep members informed of our activities, collect our<br />
‘loonie’ membership fee, and register members for the<br />
bonspiel and luncheons. Anyone not affiliated with a<br />
curling club may join our <strong>Association</strong> by contacting our<br />
president or secretary.<br />
Our bonspiel this year is on Wednesday, November<br />
21, 2012, at the Pembina <strong>Curling</strong> Club. Members may<br />
enter individually or through their club rep, and can<br />
expect fun along with the curling!<br />
Our spring luncheon is planned for Monday, May 6,<br />
2013, at the Downs. This is always a fun and enjoyable<br />
event to end the curling season and start the spring<br />
season. Keep it in mind and come out to renew<br />
acquaintances, make new friends and help celebrate<br />
80 years of Past Presidents!<br />

world silver<br />
for team robertson<br />
World <strong>Curling</strong> Championship Silver Medal<br />
A represents two things for Neepawa’s Kelly<br />
Robertson, who skipped his 2011 Canadian<br />
Senior Men’s champion team to the World Silver in<br />
Denmark in April 2012.<br />
First, it is a symbol of the wonderful<br />
accomplishments of a team assembled a year earlier<br />
when long time teammates Robertson, Doug Armour<br />
and Peter Prokopowich were joined by Bob Scales in<br />
his first year of Senior eligibility. To the team’s 2010-<br />
11 season of winning the <strong>Manitoba</strong> and Canadian<br />
Championships, they added a repeat 2011-12 season<br />
<strong>Manitoba</strong> championship. In itself, that was a rare<br />
feat accomplished only three times in the over 25<br />
years of <strong>Manitoba</strong> Senior Men’s sponsorship by the<br />
Strathcona Trust (Howard Restall 2004 & 05, Barry Fry<br />
1994 & 95, Norm Houck 1986 & 87).<br />
But second, for Robertson and his team, that<br />
Silver Medal will always be a reminder of one shot,<br />
a shot that won Ireland its first ever World <strong>Curling</strong><br />
medal. Undefeated before the Gold Medal game<br />
in Denmark, Team Robertson had the hammer<br />
on the extra end in that final with Ireland (also<br />
undefeated). Third Peter Prokopowich admitted later<br />
that he thought they had the game won with two<br />
shots to come. But as Robertson explains a great<br />
last shot by the opposing skip changed things. It<br />
was a last rock raise triple kill and stick by Irish skip<br />
John Jo Kenny. “Sometimes,” Robertson said “it just<br />
seems like a team is supposed to win.”<br />
Even after that great shot, Robertson had a last<br />
draw shot for victory but was slightly heavy to give<br />
up a steal of one on his draw which had to bite the<br />
four foot circle, territory Robertson had owned all<br />
week. The Canadian team had fought back from a<br />
4-1 deficit, after giving up a four on the fourth end,<br />
and led 5-4 after seven. A one for Ireland on the<br />
home end set up the extra end dramatics.<br />
Robertson shared his feelings shortly after<br />
the game with a writer for the World <strong>Curling</strong><br />
Federation’s website. He said, “It’s like the wind has<br />
been sucked right out of me. They played a good<br />
game – we gave up a four ender which was a little<br />
hard to take but we came back. It was a hell of a<br />
game. Actually, he made a great shot with his first<br />
one in the extra end. If mine heads a little bit more<br />
it’s like check-mate and he doesn’t have a shot. I<br />
had the chance to win it with a draw, I’ve had draw<br />
weight all week, but it’s the way it goes I guess.”<br />
The loss ended a remarkable two-year run for<br />
Robertson, Armour, Prokopowich and Scales who<br />
played seven championship events, only once losing<br />
more than one game in an event. In their first season,<br />
they lost their opening game at the McDiarmid Lumber<br />
Bonspiel to qualify, were undefeated from there to<br />
the end of the provincials, and lost only once at the<br />
Canadian Championship. To qualify for the Worlds,<br />
their 2010-11 record was 27 wins and 2 losses.<br />
In their second season, Team Robertson were<br />
undefeated in the Strathcona Senior Men’s spiel to<br />
qualify for a provincial championship in which they<br />
only lost once. They finished 6-5 at the Canadian<br />
Championship. Their 7-1 World record made for a<br />
record of 50 wins and 9 losses to win two <strong>Manitoba</strong><br />
Men’s titles, a Canadian championship, and a World<br />
Silver medal. Impressive!<br />

MCA Bonspiel celebrates 125 years<br />
he Grey Cup has been an annual Canadian<br />
t sports celebration for 100 years.<br />
The Stanley Cup was awarded fi rst in 1893 and is<br />
now called an annual affair, although in the early years<br />
it was a challenge trophy played for more than once<br />
annually. It also has not been awarded twice: 1919<br />
due to the flu epidemic and 2005 due to the lockout.<br />
These two Canadian Sport institutions may have<br />
the greatest profi le these days but the annual MCA<br />
Bonspiel had already been running for several years<br />
when Lord Stanley presented hockey’s most famous<br />
trophy and for over three decades when Earl Grey<br />
provided Canadian football’s prestigious trophy.<br />
And lest <strong>Manitoba</strong> curlers be too vain about the<br />
long history of our bonspiel, it bears noting that<br />
Newfoundland’s Royal St. John’s Regatta, which<br />
dates to at least 1816 and was probably held earlier<br />
than that, is North America’s longest running annual<br />
sporting event.<br />
Actually 125 years marks the 2013 birth date of<br />
the <strong>Manitoba</strong> Branch of the Royal Caledonian <strong>Curling</strong><br />
Club (RCCC). According to the records, a bonspiel<br />
had been held at Winnipeg for several years before<br />
seven <strong>Manitoba</strong> clubs joined forces in an association<br />
and at that fi rst meeting they resolved to hold a<br />
‘grand bonspiel’.<br />
The clubs included two in Winnipeg, Granite<br />
and Thistle, and fi ve rural community curling<br />
organizations. These were Stony Mountain,<br />
Stonewall, Morden, Portage la Prairie and Carberry.<br />
32<br />
Curl<strong>Manitoba</strong> yearbooK – 2012/13
Their official first meeting was December 6, 1888.<br />
This means, of course, the 125 th birthday party of<br />
the <strong>Association</strong> should be celebrated on December<br />
6, 2013 during the Tim Hortons Roar of the Rings -<br />
Canadian <strong>Curling</strong> Trials.<br />
The first bonspiel under the auspices of the<br />
<strong>Manitoba</strong> Branch of the RCCC was staged in<br />
March, 1899, making the 2013 bonspiel the<br />
125 th organized by the <strong>Manitoba</strong> Branch and the<br />
subsequent organizations, the <strong>Manitoba</strong> <strong>Curling</strong><br />
<strong>Association</strong> and Curl<strong>Manitoba</strong>.<br />
In the early years, the bonspiel was deemed to<br />
be an unofficial world championship as curlers from<br />
across Canada and the northern United States came<br />
to Winnipeg to play the best curlers in <strong>Manitoba</strong><br />
and from other jurisdictions.<br />
As early as 1903, it became a truly international<br />
event when a group of curlers came from Scotland<br />
for a tour of games across Eastern Canada and<br />
the northern United States ending at the bonspiel<br />
in Winnipeg.<br />
<strong>Manitoba</strong>ns also played a key role in the<br />
establishment of the Macdonalds Brier, a national<br />
championship for curling. But that did not happen<br />
until 1927, nearly 30 years after the start of the<br />
MCA Bonspiel.<br />
The great names in <strong>Manitoba</strong> curling are a part<br />
of the lore and legend of the bonspiel. <strong>Curling</strong> Hallof-Famers<br />
Robert Dunbar, Howard Wood Sr., Gordon<br />
Hudson, Ken Watson, Jimmy Welsh, Billy Walsh, Don<br />
Duguid, Vic Peters, Jeff Stoughton and Kerry Burtnyk<br />
are names which show up regularly in the bonspiel’s<br />
records. In the early years, a bonspiel championship<br />
was proof a team had reached the pinnacle. As the<br />
decades passed, it was an event where teams honed<br />
their skills. It was a stepping stone to greater things.<br />
Numerous as may be the names of the<br />
<strong>Manitoba</strong> legends whose names are engraved on<br />
bonspiel trophies, as numerous are the names of<br />
curlers whose one moment of glory came with<br />
a victory in the bonspiel’s main events, possibly<br />
earning them the prestigious Grand Aggregate<br />
trophy. Even more numerous are the names of<br />
curlers whose names are engraved only once on<br />
other bonspiel trophies for those are the club<br />
curlers, the once or twice-a-weekers who, for a<br />
week, played among and against the best and won.<br />
The longest running annual bonspiel in the world,<br />
and still deemed to be the world’s largest, the MCA<br />
Bonspiel attracted a Guinness record 1,280 teams<br />
for the 100 th anniversary bonspiel in 1988. That<br />
number did not include the additional entries in<br />
Senior events.<br />
The first bonspiel attracted 62 entries and<br />
passed 100 entries when the 10 th bonspiel in 1898<br />
attracted 101 teams. In 1912, at 251, the bonspiel<br />
was over 200 for the first time. The 50 th bonspiel<br />
in 1938 set a record at 346; the 75 th in 1963 set<br />
another record with 680 entries.<br />
Entries went over 800 for the first time when<br />
the 1985 bonspiel attracted 848 entries in the<br />
build-up to the 100 th anniversary. Entries dropped<br />
back after the big year and in 1994, entries<br />
were capped at 512. They stayed at that number<br />
for a decade. In the decade since, the entry<br />
number declined to 352 in 2012. While small by<br />
comparison with that record of 25 years earlier,<br />
it is still a remarkable accomplishment to bring<br />
together this many teams and this many curlers for<br />
one bonspiel.<br />
For the 125 th bonspiel, entries will again be capped<br />
at 512 and for the last time, in tribute to 125 years<br />
of history, the bonspiel will be played as a men’s only<br />
event. In 2014 and beyond, the annual MCA Bonspiel<br />
must evolve if it wishes to be relevant in <strong>Manitoba</strong><br />
curling in the years ahead. What form that evolution<br />
will take remains to be seen.<br />
In the meantime, from January 17-21, 2013 the<br />
ice in 25 Winnipeg and nearby community curling<br />
centres will once again provide opportunities<br />
for all comers: the opportunity to play the game<br />
in many clubs and under varying, sometimes<br />
challenging, ice conditions; the opportunity to<br />
walk on to the ice perhaps to find their opponent<br />
is a champion whose exploits they have admired<br />
for years; the opportunity to share the game they<br />
love with others equally passionate about curling.<br />
And when it is over, the last team standing<br />
in the 125 th annual MCA Bonspiel may well be<br />
a <strong>Manitoba</strong> curling legend and past champion<br />
joining Mike Riley (100 th Grand Aggregate), Don<br />
Duguid (75 th Grand Aggregate), Ab Gowanlock<br />
(50 th Grand Aggregate), and Mac Braden (25 th<br />
Grand Aggregate).<br />
But perhaps it will be some lesser known. Who<br />
knows – perhaps it will be you!<br />

o’grady Challenge<br />
recap of seasons 2010-11 and 2011-12<br />
he beautiful O’Grady Trophy presented for<br />
t the first time in Winnipeg back in 1908, is<br />
on display in the <strong>Manitoba</strong> <strong>Curling</strong> Hall-of-Fame.<br />
The O’Grady has been in continuous competition<br />
ever since, and challenges are governed by Trustees<br />
on behalf of Curl<strong>Manitoba</strong>, and are open to all<br />
affiliated curling clubs.<br />
A record of every challenge is kept in log books<br />
which travel with the holders, and each participant<br />
receives a unique O’Grady competitor pin embossed<br />
with the year of competition. A complete history<br />
of the event, including results of all matches right<br />
up to the end of last season, can be found on the<br />
Curl<strong>Manitoba</strong> website under “Other Competitions”.<br />
The 2010-11 season began with match #1422<br />
when Pembina CC (as holders from the prior year)<br />
travelled to Morden where they defeated the boys<br />
from Morden <strong>Curling</strong> Club.<br />
December 19, 2010 featured a match with two<br />
O’Grady Trustees – Don Stewart from Manitou and<br />
Ron Lloyd from Fort Garry – facing each other;<br />
possibly the first time for such an occurrence. This<br />
match happened at the end of the same week that<br />
our fellow Trustee Jim Sproule passed away. Jim<br />
must have been pulling for Don, as the boys from<br />
Manitou defeated the Fort Garry teams. After the<br />
match and a friendly hour, a delicious roast beef<br />
dinner was served to all, before the Fort Garry boys<br />
headed home to Winnipeg.<br />
A highlight of this season was a great run by the<br />
Elmwood Club in their 100 th anniversary year. In<br />
match #1431 they hosted and defeated Treherne, and<br />
then went on to win five more matches before being<br />
stopped by Beausejour. Congratulations fellows!<br />
The sad part of the season was the passing of Jim<br />
Sproule of Thistle – an O’Grady Trustee for 15 years.<br />
Jim’s main ambition when coming on board was<br />
to compile and make available all of the statistics<br />
from some 1,400 match sheets. One of the benefits<br />
of Jim’s efforts is that each curling club now has a<br />
complete list of all the players who represented them<br />
over the past 100+ years of O’Grady competition. Jim<br />
also championed Col.<br />
O’Grady’s election<br />
into the Hall-of-Fame<br />
in 2010.<br />
Two new Trustees,<br />
Ron Margolis of<br />
Charleswood (first<br />
O’Grady appearance<br />
in 1999) and Rod<br />
MacKay of Fort Garry (first O’Grady appearance in<br />
2005), both past directors of the provincial curling<br />
association, joined Ron Lloyd and Don Stewart in<br />
2010, to help steward the O’Grady competition in the<br />
years ahead.<br />
2011-12 began with the Granite as holders,<br />
and the season included the first every appearance<br />
by the Argyle <strong>Curling</strong> Club – who challenged and<br />
hosted Selkirk. Unfortunately for Argyle, the Selkirk<br />
boys were in the midst of an 11 match run that<br />
finally ended in Morden at the end of February, and<br />
also included travels to Teulon, Treherne, Glenboro,<br />
Carberry, Hartney, and Roland, as well as three visits<br />
to Winnipeg clubs.<br />
Other multiple winners during the season<br />
included Portage and Morden.<br />
At season’s end, the O’Grady title was held by the<br />
Pembina club, who coincidentally won their very first<br />
challenge for the O’Grady trophy back in March of<br />
1962 – almost exactly 50 years ago. Pembina carried<br />
the “O’Grady briefcase” containing travelling plaque<br />
and log book to match #1462 at the home of the<br />
next season’s first challenger in the fall of 2012.<br />

curlmanitoba YEarbooK – 2012/13
y derek oryniak<br />
My experience at the 2012<br />
winter youth olympic games<br />
anuary 13, 2012. It is hard to describe the<br />
J feeling of walking into Bergisal Stadium in<br />
Innsbruck, Austria, together with 1,100 athletes from<br />
70 countries, in front of 15,000 spectators for the<br />
opening ceremonies of the first ever Winter Youth<br />
Olympic Games. Unbelievable, a dream come true, and<br />
surreal are just a few thoughts that come to mind.<br />
Participating in the first ever Winter Youth<br />
Olympic Games in January 2012 was an experience<br />
I will never forget. My teammates, from all parts<br />
of Canada, and fellow curling competitors, aged<br />
14-18 from 16 countries, all shared the same goal.<br />
We wanted to win an Olympic medal, but equally<br />
wanted to learn about each other and enjoy the<br />
wonderful opportunity we had been given. There<br />
was a true sense of sportsmanship and friendship<br />
amongst the athletes.<br />
Participating in an Olympics means you are not only<br />
part of your own sports team but a member of the<br />
whole Canadian Olympic team. Two of my roommates<br />
were hockey players and I remember being as excited<br />
for them when they won their bronze medal as I was<br />
when our curling team won ours.<br />
Winning a bronze medal, in a drama filled game<br />
against a great Swedish team, is something I will<br />
remember for the rest of my life. It was an honour<br />
to find out that in winning bronze, it became the<br />
first ever medal won by Canada at a Youth Olympic<br />
Games, summer or winter. Our Canadian team went<br />
on to win nine medals in total in Innsbruck.<br />
Although winning a medal was the ultimate<br />
highlight, the lasting international friendships and<br />
overall experience of participating in an Olympics<br />
was far more valuable. The International Olympic<br />
Committee decided to create Youth Olympic Games<br />
(YOG), with the vision of a new event designed to<br />
inspire young people all around the world to do<br />
sport and adopt and live by the Olympic Values of<br />
Excellence, Respect and Friendship. I can tell you from<br />
my experience they succeeded with flying colours!<br />
