REGINA (CP) - Glenn Howard remained upbeat after his Ontario team’s winning streak came to an end at the Canadian men’s curling championship Tuesday.
Alberta’s Kevin Martin halted Ontario’s run of wins at six with a 7-4 victory over Howard and then earned a matching sixth victory with a 8-1 decision over Newfoundland and Labrador at night.
Ontario and Alberta were both 6-1 at the top of the 12-team field and their game was the best yet in the preliminary round of the Tim Horton’s Brier. It also could have been a preview of the Sunday final.

REGINA—Glenn Howard has always curled in the shadow of his big brother Russ, but he doesn’t mind standing in the shade.
Even now that the younger Howard, 43, has made it to the national men’s curling championship as a skip, he’s already been upstaged by 50-year-old Russ Howard’s gold-medal performance at the Olympics with Brad Gushue. And the attention will turn away from the front-running Howard rink here at the Brier when the Gushue team arrives tomorrow night in advance of Friday’s day-long adulation and autograph sessions.
There are two more days of Round Robin play, with 3 draws per day. At the end of 17th draw, tie-breakers will be played if needed.
Playoffs start Friday March 17, 2006. The 3rd and 4th ranked teams play each other and the 1st and 2nd ranked teams play each other and the loser.
