The 1957 United States Men's Curling Championship was held from March 27 to 30, 1957 at Chicago Stadium in Chicago, Illinois.[1] It was the first edition of the United States Men's Curling Championship.
The Marshall Field and Company was inspired to host an American equivalent to the popular Macdonald Brier in Canada.[2][3] Opening night of the championship included a performance by the Scotch Highlander band of University of Iowa, an all female bagpipe and drum band, and were televised by the local television channel WGN-TV.[4][5] Ken Watson, three-time Canadian champion, was hired as the commissioner of play and tasked with overseeing the umpires.[6][7] There were 2,500 spectators in attendance for the first draw.[8]
The tournament consisted of ten teams representing nine states, plus a team representing the then-territory of Alaska. Teams had to win their state playdowns to qualify.
The team from Minnesota, representing the Hibbing Curling Club won the event, as the team with the best round-robin record of 8-1.[9]
