Shawn Adams

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Shawn Adams (born April 4, 1974) is a Canadian curler from Bridgewater, Nova Scotia. Adams rose to curling prominence having won the 1993 Canadian Junior Championship, however he was stripped of the championship because of alcohol violations^ after the victory. 7 years later Adams came back to the scene winning the Nova Scotia championships for the right to go to the 2000 Labatt Brier, where he finished 3-8. Two years later, at the 2002 Nokia Brier he improved on that record with a 6-5 record. Finally, at the 2005 Tim Hortons Brier, Adams would finish the round-robin with an 8-3 record earning him a berth in the playoffs. In the playoffs, Adams defeated Quebec's Jean-Michel Menard in the 3-4 game, then he defeated Manitoba's Randy Dutiaume in the semi-final before losing to Randy Ferbey and Alberta in the final.

^Adams and his teammates were of legal drinking age, just that junior rules stipulate that you cannot drink during an event.
