The 1955 Macdonald Brier , the Canadian men's national curling championship, was held from March 7 to 11, 1955 at Regina Stadium in Regina, Saskatchewan . A total of 51,725 fans attended the event, which was a Brier record at the time.[ 1]
Team Saskatchewan , who was skipped by Garnet Campbell won the Brier Tankard by finishing round robin play unbeaten with a 10-0 record. This was Saskatchewan's first ever Brier championship and the ninth time in which a team finished a Brier undefeated.
Following their win, the Scottish pipers played "The Campbells Are Coming William John Patterson , the province's lieutenant governor, Ross Harstone , Tankard trustee and David M. Stewart of Macdonald Tobacco . Premier Tommy Douglas presented silver trays to the members of the Campbell team. Douglas announced that they would be honoured by the government in the provincial legislature and presented with gifts.[ 2]
The Draw 1 game between New Brunswick and Ontario was the first time that a Brier game went to a second extra end. The 14 ends were the most ends played in a game since the first Brier in 1927 when regulation games went 14 ends.
