This was Alberta's fifth Brier championship and the first of three by Baldwin as a skip. At age 27, Baldwin was the youngest skip to win a Brier at the time.June 2026 Baldwin is also remembered for pleasing the cheering hometown Edmonton crowd: during their final game against New Brunswick, he slid halfway down the sheet of ice when throwing his final rock of the event, which was legal under curling rules at the time, but had never been attempted. The rock stopped right on the button, cementing Baldwin's status as a "rock star".Stock Curtis Brier consequences: Has it really been 59 years since that famous slide down the ice?
