Surprise Surprise Team Manitoba was the winning province of the gold medal match in Tim Horton’s 2011 Brier held in London, Ontario on March 13th. Team Manitoba was led by skip Jeff Stoughton. The losing province was Team Ontario led by skip Glenn Howard. In 4 of the last 6 Briers Glenn Howard has been on the losing end in the gold medal match, making him the Canadian Jim Kelly.
And you might be wondering how the man, the myth, the legend, K-Mart and team Alberta did in the Brier. Well disappointingly, the Old Bear and Alberta finished in 4th after they lost the Bronze Medal match to Team Newfoundland and Labrador. The Old Bear was even shut out of the Brier All Stars selection.
In a post-brier interview, K-mart was quoted as saying, “We played not bad, but not good, you know, mediocre, you don’t win like that. Losing, it never hurts, just makes you a little hungrier, makes you work a little harder and you get back at it”. Well with that spirit, who wouldn’t want to play billiards with the Old Bear?
Next up in the Curling world is the 2011 World Curling Championship held in Regina, Saskatchewan from April 2 to 10th
