REGINA (CP) - Manitoba skip Jeff Stoughton says he’ll appeal his $1,000 fine for unsportsmanlike conduct at the Canadian men’s curling championship.

The Canadian Curling Association disciplined Stoughton after he kicked rocks and slamming his broom in a game against New Brunswick on Wednesday, but Stoughton also said he was told by the CCA he had been accumulating offences, some of which he was unaware.

“I thought they would at least let me know I was accumulating some fines,” Stoughton said Thursday. “We’ll write a letter and see what they do.”

`Russ has always been in limelight’

STAFF REPORTER

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.

From their website … About The Event

First presented by the Macdonald Tobacco Company in 1927, the Macdonald Brier Trophy was awarded annually to the winner of the Macdonald Brier until 1979. Macdonald Tobacco withdrew its sponsorship that year after 50 years and the Macdonald Brier Tankard was retired.

When Labatt Breweries became the Brier sponsor in 1980, it introduced a gold Labatt Tankard, which became the icon of the Brier and was awarded 21 times. When Labatt decided to end its title sponsorship, the Labatt Tankard was retired.
