Def’n & Background information
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Canadian Mixed Curling Championship is the national curling championship for mixed curling in Canada. It is considered as the highest level of mixed curling in the world, with the absence of a World Championships. However, a European Mixed Curling Championship also exists.
In mixed curling, the positions on a team must alternate between men and women. If a man throws last rocks, which is usually the case, a woman must throw the lead rocks and the third positions rocks, while the other male member of the team throws the second’s rocks. Only once has a woman ever thrown last rocks (skipped) and won a championship, and that was Shannon Kleibrink in 2004.

PAST WINNERS
You can read all about the history of the Canadian Mixed Curling Championships over at the Seasons of Champions Website. Two members of the winning team will also represent Canada at the first Mixed Doubles World Championship, to be played March 9-15, 2008 in Vierumäki, Finland and held in conjunction with the 2008 World Seniors.
The Manitoba team first won this contest in its first year 1964 but it hasn’t been since 1991 and the Jeff Stoughton team (Karen Fallis, Scott Morrow, Lynn Morrow) since Manitoba won this event.
I thought it would be “neat-o” to sort out the winnings, by province/team .. (see wikipedia for order by date)
