The hometown Don Duguid rink out of Winnipeg's Granite Club won the event in the last draw, when they beat Saskatchewan's Bob Pickering rink in front of 9,287 fans at the Winnipeg Arena, which was "filled to capacity".The Brier, Bob Weeks, pg 116 This gave the team the best round robin record, preventing a playoff against the next best team, Alberta, which had one more loss. With the championship, the Duguid team would go on to represent Canada at the 1970 Air Canada Silver Broom, the World Curling Championships, which they won. Duguid's only loss came against Team British Columbia, skipped by 1964 Brier champion Lyall Dagg, who would go on to finish in third place. Manitoba's first round match against Alberta, skipped by 1961 Brier and World Champion Hec Gervais, proved to be the deciding game. The ice in that game had been described as particularly bad, having "almost turned to water", requiring more force to throw rocks, and making hits nearly impossible. Manitoba won their match against Alberta 10-9, after Gervais missed his last throw.The Brier, Bob Weeks, pg 116 Prior to the season, Duguid's experience as a skip was limited, though he had won the 1965 Brier as a third. For the 1970 season, Duguid reluctantly joined forces with teammates Rod Hunter, Jim Pettapiece and Bryan Wood, replacing Hunter's brother, and found immediate success.The Brier, Bob Weeks, pg 115 Teams The teams are listed as follows:1970 Macdonald Brier https://stats.curling.io/macdonald-brier/1970 Curling Canada Stats Archive Curling Canada 2 March 2023 white AlbertaBritish ColumbiaManitobaGranite CC, Edmonton Skip: Hec Gervais Third: Bill Mitchell Second: Wayne Saboe Lead: Bill TainshVancouver CC, Vancouver Skip: Lyall Dagg Third: Barry Naimark Second: Leo Hebert Lead: Terry PaulsonGranite CC, Winnipeg Skip: Don Duguid Third: Rod Hunter Second: Jim Pettapiece Lead: Bryan WoodNew BrunswickNewfoundlandNorthern OntarioMoncton CA, Moncton Skip: Harold Mabey Jr. Third: Ed Steeves Second: Hal Keith Lead: Grant MacMellonSt. John's CC, St. John's Skip: Les Bowering Third: Frank Stent Second: Dan Herder Lead: Roger MabeyFort William CC, Thunder Bay Skip: Tom Tod Third: James Carson Second: J.
