Alf Phillips, Jr.
Alfred J. Phillips Jr. (born c. 1938) is a Canadian former curler. He was the skip of the 1967 Brier Champion team, representing Ontario. The team later went on to finish third at the World Championships of that year. A year following their Brier championship, the team finished second in a bonspiel, earning them more than $3,000, more than the allowable $150 by the Ontario Curling Association. At the time, the OCA forbade professional teams from participating in Brier playdowns. Phillips donated his money to charity, but the rest of his team kept their earnings, and were thus were suspended from OCA competitions. The move forced the OCA to allow professionals, but Phillips' team remained suspended, breaking the team apart. Phillips was inducted into the Canadian Curling Hall of Fame The Canadian Curling Hall of Fame was established with its first inductees in 1973. It is operated by Curling Canada, the governing body for curling in Canada, in Orleans, Ontario. The Hall of Fame se ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Macdonald Brier
The Tim Hortons Brier, or simply (and more commonly) the Brier (''french: Le Brier''), is the annual Canadian men's curling championship, sanctioned by Curling Canada. The current event name refers to its main sponsor, the Tim Hortons coffee and donut shop chain. "Brier" originally referred to a brand of tobacco sold by the event's first sponsor, the Macdonald Tobacco Company. The Brier has been held since 1927, traditionally during the month of March. The winner of the Brier goes on to represent Canada at the World Curling Championships of the same year. The Brier is by far the best supported curling competition in terms of paid attendance, attracting crowds far larger than even those for World Championships held in Canada. History In 1924, George J. Cameron, the president of the W. L. Mackenzie and Company subsidiary of the Macdonald Tobacco Company, pitched the idea of a national curling championship to Macdonald Tobacco and was accepted. At the time Canadian curling was di ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
