Video of Al Hackner's double?
Is a video of Al Hackner's double posted anywhere on the internet? I've searched numerous times and haven't been able to find it.

This is the right section. Al Hackner's double takeout to win the '85 Brier. An amazing shot, I've seen TSN play it during their coverage of the Brier.
I also couldn't find the video on the internet.
Try asking if anyone has a copy on the forums at CurlingZone.com, many people trade media there. You may have to pay for someone to mail you a tape, but people trade videos of curling on there plenty.

Happy Holidays!
After scouring the internet, much like you have, I have come up with nothing at all. Curling is a tough sport to seach on the internet!
The CCA (Canadian Curling Association) has a "Brier Highlights" video archive up until the year 1974. This leads me to believe that they have a video for the 1985 Brier as well, but is not posted on the internet.
I suggest that you contact Warren Hansen, Director of Media at the CCA. He could probably find the video in the archives. His contact information is below.

I have never seen the shot myself; you now have me very interested!
