==The Hackner double==

The shot allowed him to steal a point in the extra end when Ryan was heavy with his last stone.{{cite news|last=Rauw|first=Murray|title=Ryan loses Brier heart-breaker in a dramatic game of inches|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=G3hkAAAAIBAJ&sjid=EH8NAAAAIBAJ&pg=4639,206149&dq=1985+brier&hl=en|accessdate=27 December 2012|newspaper=Calgary Herald|date=11 March 1985|location=Moncton|page=C1}}
