Al Hackner is one of the most popular and richest Curler who was born on July 18, 1954 in Thunder Bay, Thunder Bay, Canada. Allan A. Hackner (born July 18, 1954), nicknamed “the Iceman”, is a Canadian Hall of Fame curler from Thunder Bay, Ontario. He was born in Nipigon, Ontario. He is a two-time Brier and World Champion skip. He is of Ojibwa descent and is a member of the Red Rock Indian Band. He is currently a member of USA Curling’s High Performance Program Coaching staff.
In 1985, he defeated Pat Ryan of Alberta to win his second Brier. To tie the game with last rock in the 10th end Hackner had to make a near impossible double-take out, coming around a guard to hit two stones some 6 feet apart, which would later go down in curling infamy as the “Al Hackner double”. Hackner’s team then stole a single point in the extra end for the win. The shot was named the greatest moment in Northern Ontario curling history by the Northern Ontario Curling Association.
Hackner won the 2006 Canadian Senior Curling Championships which he followed up with a silver medal at the World Senior Curling Championships in 2007.
Hackner was part of the staff for the Team USA women’s team from 2012-14, and rejoined to become the coach in 2017. He led the team to the 2018 Winter Olympics, where they finished eighth.
Hackner has skipped the Northern Ontario team at nine Briers. He won the Brier in 1982 and again in 1985.
