1987 Canadian Olympic Curling Trials

Teams selection for the 1988 Winter Olympics The 1987 Labatt National Curling Trials were held April 19-25, 1987 at the Max Bell Arena in Calgary, Alberta. They were held to determine the Canadian National men's and women's Teams for the demonstration curling event at the 1988 Winter Olympics. The teams were selected by a committee based on recent success and performance at a training camp. Some teams were formed just for the Trials themselves. Members of the committee were Canadian Curling Association president Harvey Mazinke, Garry DeBlonde, Vera Pezer, Art Quinney, Ron Anton, Dot MacRea and Warren Hansen. There were some teams that were thought to be snubbed by the committee, such as Paul Gowsell, Mark Noseworthy and Al Hackner, the latter of whom had boycotted the tryouts because curlers tried out as individuals rather than teams.Selections get rocky reviews March 24, 1987 59 Calgary Herald https://www.newspapers.com/article/calgary-herald/141919498/ February 23, 2024 Men Teams Skip Third Second Lead Province Kevin Adams Malcolm Turner Don Reddick Ian Journeaux Russ Howard Glenn Howard Tim Belcourt Kent Carstairs Eugene Hritzuk Ron Mills Ian Tetley Bob Ursel Ed Lukowich John Ferguson Neil Houston Brent Syme Pat Ryan Randy Ferbey Don Walchuk Don McKenzie Bernie Sparkes Jim Armstrong Monte Ziola Jamie Saxton Ed Werenich Paul Savage John Kawaja Neil Harrison Kirk Ziola Mark Olson Denis Marchand Bill Fletcher Final standings Skip W LAlberta Pat Ryan (Edmonton) 6 1Alberta Ed Lukowich (Calgary) 4 3Ontario Ed Werenich (Toronto) 4 3Ontario Russ Howard (Penetanguishene) 4 3British Columbia Bernie Sparkes (Vancouver) 4 3Quebec Kevin Adams (Montreal) 3 4Ontario Kirk Ziola (London) 3 4Saskatchewan Eugene Hritzuk (Saskatoon) 0 7 Tiebreakers Werenich 8-6 Howard Lukowich 9-4 Sparkes Playoffs 2 Alberta Ed Lukowich 7 3 Ontario Ed Werenich 2 1 Alberta Pat Ryan 3 2 Alberta Ed Lukowich 6 Semifinal Ontario Ed Werenich 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 X X X 2 Alberta Ed Lukowich 1 0 2 0 0 3 1 X X X 7 Final Alberta Ed Lukowich 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 5 0 X 6 Alberta Pat Ryan 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 X 3 Women Teams Skip Third Second Lead Province Marilyn Darte Kathy McEdwards Chris Jurgenson Sandra Rippel Kathie Ellwood Cathy Treloar Laurie Ellwood Sandra Asham Kathy Fahlman Sandra Schmirler Janice Betker Sheila Schneider Colleen Jones Kay Smith Kim Dolan Cathy Caudle Connie Laliberte Janet Harvey Corinne Peters Janet Arnott Linda Moore Lindsay Sparkes Debbie Jones Penny Ryan Chris More Cathy Shaw Chris Gervais Sheila Kavanagh Pat Sanders Georgina Hawkes Louise Herlinveaux Deb Massullo Final standings Skip W LBritish Columbia Linda Moore (Vancouver) 5 2Manitoba Connie Laliberte (Winnipeg) 5 2British Columbia Pat Sanders (Victoria) 4 3Saskatchewan Kathy Fahlman (Regina) 4 3Nova Scotia Colleen Jones (Halifax) 4 3Ontario Marilyn Darte (St. Catharines) 2 5Manitoba Kathie Ellwood (Winnipeg) 2 5Manitoba Chris More (Winnipeg) 2 5 Tiebreakers Sanders 7-0 Jones Sanders 9-2 Fahlman Playoffs 2 Manitoba Connie Laliberte 6 3 British Columbia Pat Sanders 4 1 British Columbia Linda Moore 7 2 Manitoba Connie Laliberte 5 Semifinal British Columbia Pat Sanders 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 2 0 0 4 Manitoba Connie Laliberte 0 2 0 0 1 0 2 0 0 1 6 Final Manitoba Connie Laliberte 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 2 0 0 5 British Columbia Linda Moore 1 0 0 1 0 0 2 0 0 3 7 References Sources 2017 Canadian Olympic Curling Trials Media Guide: 1987 Trials Olympic Curling Trials, 1987 Category:Canadian Olympic Curling Trials Category:Curling competitions in Calgary Canadian Olympic Curling
