1983 Air Canada Silver Broom

1983 Air Canada Silver Broom Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada Agridome April 11–17, 1983 Avonlea CC, Don Mills Ed Werenich Paul Savage John Kawaja Neil Harrison (Keith Wendorf) 1982 1984 The 1983 Air Canada Silver Broom, the men's world curling championship, was held from April 11–17, 1983 in the Agridome in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. The final pitted two skips from Toronto, with Canada, skipped by Ed Werenich against West Germany, skipped by Keith Wendorf, who was born there. After Germany lost the coin toss to determine hammer in the first end, the game started with Canada scoring a deuce in the first, thanks in part to a hit and roll by second John Kawaja. The Germans replied with a single in the second. Werenich had a nervous shot against two in the third, having to hit a partially buried German stone, while avoiding knocking the German guard into the house at the same time. Wereinch made the hit to take a 3–1 lead. Canada then tried to play a more defensive game, but had trouble making peels on the "demanding" ice. But the Werenich team was used to playing aggressive, and were able to pivot. Both Wendorf and Werenich made "clutch" draws to the four-foot on their finals stones in the fourth and fifth ends, respectively, which gave Canada a 4–2 lead into the break. Wendorf made a "pressure-packed" hit in the sixth against two Canadian stones to get within a point of Canada. In the seventh, Wendorf missed on his first, ticking on a guard. Werenich replied by coming throw a port to hit a German counter. Wendorf was light on his last rock, and Werenich drew for a second point to give Canada a 6–3 lead. In the eighth, Wendorf was facing four on his last, and attempted a hit and roll to score. Unfortunately for him, he did not roll far enough, with a measurement giving Canada a steal of one. Canada went on to win the game 7–4.Canada on top of the world April 18, 1983 13 Regina Leader-Post https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-leader-post/169425950/ April 2, 2025 It was the best showing for West Germany at the World Championship.Wendorf takes loss in stride April 18, 1983 15 Regina Leader-Post https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-leader-post/169431832/ April 2, 2025 Teams Austria state Kitzbühel CC, Kitzbühel Skip: Arthur Fabi Third: Günther Märker Second: Manfred Fabi Lead: Dieter KüchenmeisterAvonlea CC, Don Mills Skip: Ed Werenich Third: Paul Savage Second: John Kawaja Lead: Neil HarrisonHvidovre CC, Hvidovre Skip: Tommy Stjerne Third: Oluf Olsen Second: Steen Hansen Lead: Peter AndersenCC Schwenningen, Villingen-Schwenningen Skip: Keith Wendorf Third: Hans Dieter Kiesel Second: Sven Saile Lead: Heiner MartinCortina CC, Cortina d'Ampezzo Fourth: Massimo Alvera"ITA" For the last three draws, Alvera threw third stones, while Sovilla threw fourth stones.
