Canadian men's curling championship
The 1957 Macdonald Brier , the Canadian men's national curling championship, was held from March 4 to 7, 1957 at Kingston Memorial Centre in Kingston, Ontario . A total of 19,000 fans attended the event.[ 1]
Team Alberta , who was skipped by Matt Baldwin won the Brier Tankard by finishing round robin play unbeaten with a 10–0 record. This was Alberta's sixth Brier championship and the second time Baldwin had won a title as a skip, with his first coming in 1954 . It was also the tenth time in which a team finished a Brier undefeated.
Saskatchewan's 30–3 victory over New Brunswick in Draw 2 set a Brier record for most points scored in a game by one team (30) and the largest margin of victory in a game (27). This broke the previous records of set in 1934 by Ontario in their 26–2 victory over Nova Scotia . The game also tied the record set in 1932 for most combined points by both teams in a game (33). To date, the 30 points scored by Saskatchewan is still a Brier record.[ 2]
This Brier also at the time broke a record for most extra ends played in a single Brier with eight. This broke the previous record of six set in 1931 .
