Canadian regional curling championship
The 2000 Nokia Cup , southern Ontario men's provincial curling championship was held February 7-13 at the Steve Yzerman Arena at the Nepean Sportsplex in Nepean, Ontario . The winning rink of Peter Corner , Todd Brandwood , Drew Macklin and Dwayne Pyper from Hamilton would go on to represent Ontario at the 2000 Labatt Brier in Saskatoon .
In the final, Peter Corner and his Hamilton rink defeated his cousin and former teammate, Wayne Middaugh 's Toronto rink, 6–4. The game began on a bad note for Middaugh who was heavy on his draw attempt in the first end, giving up a steal of one to Corner. Middaugh gave up another steal in the eighth end after coming up light on a draw, to go down 5–3.[ 1] The teams traded singles in the next two ends for a 6 to 4 final score.
Corner's new rink of Todd Brandwood , Drew Macklin and Dwayne Pyper had played in just eight games before playdowns that season. It marked Corner's fifth trip to the Brier, but the first as a skip. The four previous times had been playing lead for Team Russ Howard which also included Middaugh at second.[ 2]
