The 1965 Diamond "D" Championship the Canadian women's curling championship was held from February 22 to 25, 1965 at the Mayflower Curling Club [1] in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
Team Manitoba, who was skipped by Peggy Casselman won the event by finishing the round robin with an 8-1 record. This was Manitoba's first championship. [2]
This was the first championship that would come down to a "winner take all" final draw as both Alberta and Manitoba entered their matchup in the final draw with identical 7–1 records. Manitoba jumped out to a 6–0 lead after four ends and despite an Alberta comeback, Manitoba would hold off Alberta 7–5 to capture the championship. Alberta would finish runner-up as Prince Edward Island scored three in the last end against Nova Scotia to win 9–8 in their final game and thus avoided a tiebreaker playoff between Alberta and Nova Scotia for runner-up.
This championship would set a record for the fewest extra end games in one tournament as Ontario's 13–11 victory over Quebec in Draw 3 was the only game that went to an extra end in the tournament. This record was eventually matched in 1979. [3]
