Northern Ontario Men's Provincial Curling Championship

The Northern Ontario Curling Association (NOCA) 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.
