The Ron Northcott rink representing Alberta won their third title, having gone undefeated. It was the first time a team had gone undefeated since 1957.[2] It was also the 11th title for Alberta.

British Columbia were runners-up, with an impressive 9-1 record, which was usually good enough to win. Both Saskatchewan and Prince Edward Island tied for third place at 7-3 records. It was tied for the best ever result for PEI, which also finished third the previous year. [3]
