The 1988 Brier in the twin cities of Chicoutimi-Jonquiere, Quebec gave Alberta's Pat Ryan a chance for redemption. He had lost the final in a heart breaker three years before and was a disappointment at the `87 Brier in his hometown of Edmonton. This time, Ryan, like in 1985, led his team to an unbeaten record of 11-0 in round robin play. Ryan had to stay unbeaten to finally take home the Tankard. And he did it, but not without a heart stopping finish. Ryan trailed 7-5 going into the final end, but was counting three when Saskatchewan Skip Eugene Hritzuk threw his last rock. It didn't even make it accross the hog line and Ryan had his first Brier win. It was also the 15th title for Albertra.
