The 1963 Diamond "D" Championship the Canadian women's curling championship was held from February 25 to 28, 1963 at the St. Andrew's Curling Club[1] in Saint John, New Brunswick.

Team New Brunswick, who was skipped by Mabel DeWare won the event by finishing the round robin with an 8-1 record. This was New Brunswick's first championship.[2] As of 2023, DeWare's rink is the only New Brunswick rink has won a Canadian women's curling championship. This was also the first time in which a team won the championship on their home soil.

British Columbia and Ontario finished tied for second with 7-2 records, necessitating a tiebreaker between the two teams to determine the runner-up. British Columbia won runner-up as they defeated Ontario 6-4. This was also the first tiebreaker that was scheduled for 10 ends as the previous tiebreakers in 1961 were scheduled for 12 ends.

Records

[edit]

This event set or tied several scoring records of which have either been tied or still stand as of 2023.[10]

  • Ontario's 14-13 victory over eventual champion New Brunswick in Draw 2 set the record the most combined points scored between two teams in a single game (27). This record was later tied in 1967 and still has not been surpassed since.
  • Draw 5 saw the following records set or tied:
    • British Columbia's 16-0 win over Manitoba was the first time that a team scored a shutout in the Canadian women's championship. To date, the 16 points scored by British Columbia is the most points ever scored by a winning team in a shutout.
    • Saskatchewan's steal of 6 points in the fifth end tied the record for most stolen points scored in a single end. This also occurred in 1961 and has been matched four other times since (most recently in 2019).
    • Quebec's 7 points in the sixth end against Nova Scotia set the record for most points scored in a single end. This record has since been matched three times (1972, 2020, and 2023).
