The Canadian men's curling championship will be held March 8-16, 2008 at the new MTS Centre, a 15,000 seat multi-purpose facility, and will mark the fifth time that the city has hosted the event, joining Edmonton, Calgary, Saskatoon, Halifax and Toronto as the only other cities to have staged the prestigious championship at least five times, since it began in 1927.
"On behalf of the CCA, we are very pleased that the 2008 Tim Hortons Brier has been awarded to Winnipeg," said Georgina Anderson, a member of the Board of Directors of the Canadian Curling Association and a past president of the Manitoba Curling Association. "Winnipeg has hosted some of the most successful curling events in the past, and that, combined with a dedicated Host Committee surrounded by a wealth of experienced and knowledgeable volunteers and fans, will help ensure that this Brier will be just as successful."
The last Brier to be held in the city was in 1998, when it was played at the Winnipeg Arena and won by Ontario's Wayne Middaugh. Other years as host were in 1940, 1952 and 1970. In each of those years, it was won by a team from Winnipeg. The city also staged the 2003 Ford Worlds at the Arena. |
