The 2028 Montana’s Brier is headed to Red Deer, Alta., Curling Canada announced.
The annual Canadian men’s curling championship will be held Feb. 25-March 5, 2028 at the Marchant Crane Centrium, the home of the Western Hockey League’s Red Deer Rebels.
“This is a great day for curling and for Red Deer, and I know Alberta curling fans will be eager to be a part of the 2028 Montana’s Brier in a city that loves and knows the sport and its athletes,” said Nolan Thiessen, chief executive officer of Curling Canada. “The Red Deer committee submitted a tremendous bid, and I know the organizing committee will be working extremely hard over the next 15 months in preparation to welcome one of the most iconic men’s championships in Canadian sport and show their city off at its best.”
Red Deer last hosted the Brier in 1994 when British Columbia’s Team Rick Folk defeated Ontario’s Team Russ Howard in the championship game.
The Alberta city - located halfway between Calgary and Edmonton - also hosted the 2004 and 2012 Scotties Tournament of Hearts.
The Marchant Crane Centrium has a capacity of just over 7,100.
The 2027 Montana’s Brier will take place from Feb. 26-March 7 at the SaskTel Centre in Saskatoon, Sask.
This season’s event serves as the 100th anniversary of the first Canadian men’s curling championship.
