With all the talk of Glenn Howard breaking Russ Howard’s Brier record for 175 all-time career games, there was another historical anecdote at the Brier that caught my eye on Tuesday.
When Team Nova Scotia played Team Saskatchewan in Saskatoon tonight, history of another sort was made. It is believed that it was the first time where two female coaches opposed each other. Kay Montgomery coaches Team Saskatchewan and Helen Radford coaches Team Nova Scotia.
The issue though is that the records are a little foggy. I have watched the Brier regularly since 1987, and I can honestly never have remembered a female coach.
At the end of the day Team Nova Scotia defeated Team Saskatchewan 10-7 to improve to 4-3. Team Saskatchewan dropped to 2-5.
Team Alberta and Team Ontario continue to lead at 6-1. Calgary’s Kevin Koe lost his first game of the week this afternoon by a score of 7-6 to Team Northern Ontario. Kevin Koe will play his brother, Jamie Koe of the Yukon/Northwest Territories tomorrow morning at 7:30am.
