Northern Ontario Men's Provincial Curling Championship


The Northern Ontario Curling Association Men's Provincial Championship is the Northern Ontario provincial championship for men's curling. The winner represents Team Northern Ontario annually at the Tim Hortons Brier. 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 Travelers Northern Ontario Men's Curling Championship, Dominion of Canada Northern Ontario Men's Curling Championship Kia Cup, Labatt Tankard, and Nokia Cup. It has been known as the Dominion of Canada Championships since 2007. The event is sponsored by The Dominion of Canada General Insurance Company.
