Galt Curling Club – 1948 Brier Rink

The province of Ontario was divided into eight districts; each district had an elimination play-off to declare a winner. The eight district winners then met in a knockout competition to declare the provincial winners to represent Ontario in the National Finals for the MacDonald Brier trophy at Calgary, Alberta in 1948.

The Galt Curling Club rink won their district. There were seventeen rinks entered in the district play-offs. (Galt, Guelph, Kitchener-Waterloo, Fergus, Ayr and Plattsville). All games were twelve ends.

The eight district winners met at the Thistle Curling Club in Hamilton for the elimination play-offs to declare the Ontario Champions. The Galt rink eliminated Oshawa, Sarnia and Hamilton Thistle rinks and were Ontario’s representative in the National finals.

The rules in the Dominion finals were a round robin play-off, playing each province once. The Ontario rink, as the Galt rink was then known, finished third. British Columbia won the 1948 Championship.
