1972 Macdonald Brier

The 1972 Macdonald Brier, Canada's national men's curling championship was held March 6–11 at the St. John's Arena[1][2] in St. John's, Newfoundland.

Manitoba, skipped by Orest Meleschuk easily won the event, after posting a 9-1 round robin record, only losing to Quebec's Bill Kent rink, which finished second.[3] Meleschuk and his rink of Dave Romano, John Hanesiak and Pat Hailley went on to win a gold medal at the 1972 Air Canada Silver Broom World Curling Championship, amidst controversy.
