The '''2009 [[Tim Hortons Brier]]''', the Canadian men's national [[curling]] championship, was held March 7-157–15 at the [[Pengrowth Saddledome]] in [[Calgary]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://cdn.curling.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/2009_Tim_Hortons_Brier.pdf |title=2009 Tim Hortons Brier Archived Statistics |publisher=[[Canadian Curling Association]] |accessdate=24 June 2013 |author=Gvangulik |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20170812022142/http://cdn.curling.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/2009_Tim_Hortons_Brier.pdf |archivedate=12 August 2017 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
 
The Brier was billed as one of the best in history, as it included six former champion skips, as well as the defending Olympic champion, [[Brad Gushue]] of Newfoundland and Labrador, who hashad yet to even win a Brier. The former champions included the defending champion Alberta rink, skipped by [[Kevin Martin (curler)|Kevin Martin]], 2007 Brier champion [[Glenn Howard]] of Ontario, 2006 champion [[Jean-Michel Ménard]] of Quebec, 2004 champion [[Mark Dacey]] of Nova Scotia, 1996 & 1999 champion [[Jeff Stoughton]] of Manitoba, and 1987 & 1993 champion [[Russ Howard]] of New Brunswick (formerly from Ontario). Rounding out the field were [[Sean Geall]] of BC, [[Jamie Koe]] of the Territories, [[Joel Jordison]] of Saskatchewan, [[Mike Jakubo (curler)|Mike Jakubo]] of Northern Ontario, and [[Rod MacDonald (curler)|Rod MacDonald]] of PEI.
 
The Brier was also one of the most attended in history, with nearly 250,000 spectators.
 
The 2009 Brier featured one of the greatest Brier shots in history, when [[Glenn Howard]] made a seemingly impossible in-off "round the clock" double to score three to win his drawDraw 8 match against Saskatchewan. The Brier also featured one of the greatest games in history, between Ontario and Alberta in Draw 17. The Brier also included three "perfect" games where players scored 100%, including [[Kevin Martin (curler)|Kevin Martin]] in Draw 13.
 
Prior to the Brier, ''Sweep'' magazine, gave both Alberta and Ontario 2:1 odds to win it. Many had expected a rematch of the [[2008 Tim Hortons Brier|2008 Brier]] final between these two teams, and after the round robin, both these teams finished 1-2first and second in the round robin. Alberta was undefeated while Ontario lost their final game to Alberta, plusand an earlier match against Quebec. The two teams faced off in the 1- vs. 2 [[page playoff]] game, with Alberta's one again the victorswin putting them into the final, and sending Ontario to play Manitoba in the semi-final. Manitoba won this game, in an upset, giving them the right to face the defending champions in the final.
