1940 Macdonald Brier
The 1940 Macdonald Brier, the Canadian men's national curling championship, was held from March 4 to 7, 1940 at the Winnipeg Amphitheatre in Winnipeg, Manitoba. This was the first Brier to be held outside The Granite Club in Toronto as the Brier became more of a national event as it would travel around the country. Winnipeg was chosen to host the event after an invitation from the Manitoba Curling Association, and due to Manitoba's dominance at the Brier up to that point. Team Manitoba, who was skipped by Howard "Pappy" Wood, captured the Brier Tankard in their hometown by finishing undefeated in round robin play with a 9-0 record. Wood had only assembled the team prior to deadline for entries for that year's MCA Bonspiel, which they ended up winning. The final draw attracted 5,000 fans, the largest attendance for a curling match up to that point. This was Manitoba's ninth Brier championship overall and the second time that Wood's rink won the Brier with their first com ...
