- The Dominion Northern Ontario Men's Curling Championship
-
The Dominion of Canada Northern Ontario Men's Curling Championship is the Northern Ontario provincial championship for men's curling. The winner represents Team Northern Ontario. Northern Ontario has been represented at the Brier since 1927 despite not actually being a province. This historical fact has guaranteed Northern Ontario a separate team from Ontario in every national championship except the Scotties Tournament of Hearts.
Previous names include the Kia Cup (2006), Labatt Tankard (?-1999?; 2001-2005), and Nokia Cup (2000). It has been known as the Dominion of Canada Championships since 2007. The event is sponsored by The Dominion of Canada General Insurance Company.
Qualifying
12 teams play at the Northern Ontario provincial. Two teams earn berths by winning the Courtesy Freight Superspiel and the Soo Curler's Kia Classic Superspiel. Six teams are selected from each of the six Northern Ontario regions, and 4 teams are selected from two last chance qualifiers, one for Northeastern Ontario and one from Northwestern Ontario.
