Labatt Brier

Event Information
The Brier in Moncton went to an extra end to determine the champion. It was only the second time that a final went to extra ends, and ironically the other time was also in Moncton, in 1956, when Billy Walsh of Manitoba edged Alf Phillips Sr. of Ontario, 8-7. This time Northern Ontario got the best of Alberta. Alberta's Pat Ryan was leading the final 5-3 after nine ends. But in the tenth, Northern Ontario's Al Hackner made a dramatic double takeout to score two and send the game into an extra end. Ryan let victory slip through his fingers when he failed to make a draw to the four-foot giving Northern Ontario a steal of one and the title.
