Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame unveiled a new curling exhibit Sweeping to Success: Stories of Canadian Curling. The exhibit features the Tankard Trophy which is awarded annually to the winner of the Brier. Additional historical artefacts include the evolution of curling rocks from jam pot to iron to wood to granite including an original curling rock from 1890 made of wood and twice the size of a standard curling rock today. The exhibit also features the evolution of brooms from straw to fabric to high tech brooms including the Rink Rat. Other artefacts that will be on display at Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame include memorabilia from Honoured Member and 2006 Olympic Gold Medallist, Russ Howard and Honoured Members, Don Duguid, Ken Watson, Ron Northcott, Richardson Rink, Schmirler Rink, Harry “Pappy” Wood and Matt Baldwin. 23 sports hall of fames and museums across Canada provided rare curling artefacts for this exhibit chronicling the past 125 years of curling in Canada.
