  • The 1965 Macdonald Brier, the Canadian men's national curling championship, was held from March 1 to 5, 1965 at Saskatoon Arena in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. After the Brier the year before drew the smallest crowd since 1952, the 1965 Brier broke the attendance record at the time as a total of 52,319 fans attended the Brier. This attendance record would not be surpassed until 1970. Team Manitoba, who was skipped by Terry Braunstein captured the Brier Tankard by finishing round robin play with a 9–1 record. This was Manitoba's first Brier championship since 1956 and their sixteenth Brier championship overall. Braunstein's rink would go on to represent Canada in the 1965 Scotch Cup in which they became the first Canadian team to not win gold as they were upset by the United States in the gold medal game. Draw 9 between Alberta and Quebec saw the largest come from behind victory in Brier history. Alberta trailed 9-0 after the fifth end but Alberta outscored Quebec 16-3 in the last seven ends to win the game 16-12. Draw 9 also saw two separate games go into a second extra end (14 ends) as Nova Scotia beat Newfoundland 11-9 and Ontario defeating New Brunswick 11-10. This was only the second and third time in Brier history that this would occur. The only other time this occurred was in 1955, which also featured Ontario and New Brunswick. (en)
