Curling competition at Hull, Quebec
The 1967 Macdonald Brier , Canada's national men's curling championship was held March 6–10 at the Hull Arena in Hull, Quebec .[ 2] The event was originally planned to be played at the Ottawa Civic Centre in Ottawa , but it was later decided to hold the event across the Ottawa River in Hull as the Civic Centre was not going to be completed in time to host the event.[ 1]
In the "Centennial " Brier, Team Ontario , who was skipped by 28 year old "Alfie" Phillips Jr. captured the Brier Tankard by finishing round robin play with a 9–1 record. This was Ontario's third Brier championship and their first since 1939 .[ 3] This would also Phillips' only career Brier appearance. Manitoba and Saskatchewan finished tied for runner-up with 8–2 records as Manitoba defeated Saskatchewan in the final draw preventing a tiebreaker playoff.[ 4]
Phillips' rink would go onto represent Canada at the 1967 Scotch Cup , which they took third.
