The 1997 AT&T Canada Canadian Mixed Curling Championship was held January 11–19 at the Kindersley Curling Club in Kindersley, Saskatchewan.[1] Team Northern Ontario won the event, defeating British Columbia in the final. To get to the final, Northern Ontario had to beat Prince Edward Island in a tiebreaker, and then win two playoff matches against Nova Scotia and Alberta. In the final, the team had to come back from being down 5–2 after give ends. They scored two in the sixth, and stole one in the seventh and eighth ends to take the lead. They then forced B.C. to take one in the ninth, giving them the hammer (last rock advantage) into the final end. To win the game, Northern Ontario skip Chris Johnson had to make a perfect double takeout for the win, which he made.[2] It was the third national title for Northern Ontario, which had previously won in 1979 and 1981.[3] The event set a record attendance at the time for the Canadian Mixed, with 19,910 spectators.[2] The final was televised on TSN.[4]
