WATCH: Barry McPhee wins the ’86 B.C. championship

McPhee’s rink faired extremely well at the 1986 Brier. He sneaked into the page playoff with a 7-4 record in the round robin. McPhee won the tiebreaker over Saskatchewan — setting up a semi-final showdown with Russ Howard from Ontario. He was ahead 5-4 after the ninth end, but ended up losing by a hair – 6-5 in 11 ends.

McPhee is in the Kamloops Sports Hall of Fame.
