This was Manitoba's tenth Brier championship overall and the second Brier won by Watson's rink, who won their first Brier in 1936. Both British Columbia and Ontario would finish tied for second with 7-2 records, which would have necessitated a tiebreaker playoff under Brier rules at the time. However, due to the Quebec Aces hockey team needing the arena for their QSHL playoffs on March 7, it was announced that no tiebreaker playoff would be played and that the tie for second place would be allowed to stand.Manitoba canters to curling crown https://www.newspapers.com/image/419762048 Newspapers.com Montreal Gazette April 22, 2022 March 6, 1942 This prevented a showdown between brothers Gordon and Donald Campbell were skipping Ontario and BC respectively.The Brier, by Bob Weeks, pg 42 For the first time since the 1933 Brier, none of the games went to an extra end.https://stats.curling.io/macdonald-brier/records MacDonald Brier Records - Curling Canada Stats Archive Quebec's loss in Draw 8 against British Columbia was their 22nd straight loss in Brier competition, setting a record for most consecutive Brier losses.
