February 27, 2005 – It’s now just known as “The Shot.” In the last end of the 2005 Scotties Tournament of Hearts final in St. John’s, Jennifer Jones and her Manitoba rink were up against it. Down 6-4 to Jenn Hanna’s Ontario rink with Hanna sitting shot rock, Jones pulled off the nearly impossible know that if she missed, the draw and the tournament were lost. But Jones managed to hit a rock outside the house and roll to the button to take out an Ontario rock for her first Scotties triumph. Four more were still to come.

March 13, 2005 – The famed “Ferbey Four” rink of Alberta’s Randy Ferbey, Dave Nedohin, Scott Pfeifer and Marcel Rocque edged Shawn Adams and Nova Scotia 5-4 - with Nedohin drawing in the 10th for the victory – in the 2005 Tim Hortons Brier final in front of a hometown crowd in Edmonton. The win completed a remarkable run for the rink of four Brier crowns in four seasons. The rink would go on to win the world title later that spring in Victoria for a third world title in five years.

September 30, 2007 – At the 2007 Presidents Cup held at Royal Montreal, Mike Weir did what few had him pegged to do in silencing the world’s top golfer in Tiger Woods. Woods mounted a furious comeback on the back nine, winning four of five holes to pull even with Weir. A crucial birdie on 17 when Tiger parred lifted Weir up one. Then on 18, Tiger couldn’t pull off an audacious chip, giving the match to Weir.

It was only Raonic’s third career victory over Federer in 12 meetings. Ultimately, though, Raonic would fall to local favourite Andy Murray in straight sets (4-6, 6-7, 6-7) in the final, meaning the wait for the first Canadian Grand Slam title goes on.

June 12, 2016 – The future of women’s golf was on display in Sammamish, Washington at the 2016 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship with 20-year-old Ariya Jutanugarn, 19-year-old Lydia Ko and 18-year-old Brooke Henderson of Smiths Fall, Ontario competing in a playoff for the title. The trio managed not a single bogey among them in the final round. Henderson ended matters on the first playoff hole, 18, when her approach landed a few scant feet from the hole. An easy birdie putt gave Henderson the title and made her the youngest woman ever to win a major.
