The 1983 Labatt Brier , Canada's national men's curling championship, was held from March 6 to 13 at the Sudbury Arena in Sudbury , Ontario .
The "Dream Team"[4] Ed Werenich , Paul Savage , John Kawaja and Neil Harrison representing Ontario won the event, defeating Ed Lukowich 's Alberta rink in the final.
The 1983 Brier was the first to use wireless microphones on the players, so that CBC viewers at home could listen to the player's strategies. This meant for some amusing remarks made by some of the more colourful curlers being heard across the country.[5] Bernie Sparkes rink is regarded as being one of the greatest curling games in Brier history,[6]
