The 2017 Tim Hortons Brier, Canada's national men's curling championship, was held from March 4–12, 2017 at the Mile One Centre in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador.

This marked the second time the Brier was hosted by St. John's, the first being the 1972 Macdonald Brier.{{Cite web|url=http://www.curling.ca/blog/2015/09/14/st-johns-named-to-host-2017-tim-hortons-brier/|title=Curling Canada | St. John's named to host 2017 Tim Hortons Brier}}

Newfoundland and Labrador won the Brier 7–6 in the final against Team Canada, giving skip Brad Gushue his first Brier title. With the win, the Gushue rink earned the right to represent Canada at the 2017 Ford World Men's Curling Championship held from April 1–9, 2017 at Northlands Coliseum in Edmonton, Alberta. They also represented Team Canada at the 2018 Tim Hortons Brier in Regina, Saskatchewan and earned $225,000 for the victory. The bronze medal was won by Manitoba.

The total attendance for the event was 122,592, up from the 115,047 that attended the previous year's Brier held in Ottawa, Ontario. The attendance for the final was 6,471.{{Cite web|url=http://www.curling.ca/scoreboard/#!/competitions/2254/reports/attendance|title=Curling Canada | Curling Scores on Curling.ca}}

Both Ontario's Sault Ste. Marie (Essar Centre){{Cite web |url=http://www.ssmbrier2017.com/ |title = Sault Ste.

The wearer of the Brier Bear – the Brier-renowned mascot – suit, Reg Caughie,{{cite web|url=http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/brier-bear-reg-caughie-1.3487620|title=Meet Reg Caughie, the man in the Brier Bear suit|date=March 12, 2016|work=CBC News|access-date=January 9, 2022}} announced that, after this 2017 Canadian Men's Curling Championship, he would retire from wearing the suit.{{cite web|url=http://www.ottawasun.com/2016/03/08/brier-bear-going-into-hibernation-after-2017-championship-in-st-johns|title=Brier Bear going into hibernation after 2017 championship in St. John's|date=March 8, 2016|work=Ottawa Sun|access-date=March 13, 2016}} The 78-year old Caughie believed that Curling Canada would continue the tradition of the Brier Bear.

Teams

Ten of the fifteen teams of the 2017 Brier were in the top 30 of the men's 2016–17 CTRS standings. Newfoundland and Labrador's Brad Gushue, skip of one of the consistent top three rinks in Canada, attempted to win his first Brier (in 14 appearances) in front of a hometown crowd. Brothers Kevin Koe – representing Team Canada, and Jamie Koe – representing the Northwest Territories, again competed against each other. 2016 PEI Champion Adam Casey and his third David Mathers moved west to join rinks that then won the championships of Saskatchewan and Ontario, respectively.{{cite news |last=Brazeau |first=Jonathan |title=Glenn Howard captures 17th career Ontario Tankard title |url=http://www.sportsnet.ca/curling/glenn-howard-captures-17th-career-ontario-tankard-title/ |publisher=Sportsnet.ca |date=February 5, 2017 |access-date=February 7, 2017}}

Glenn Howard won the Ontario Championship for the 17th time as either third or skip. By contrast, a team not skipped by either Kevin Martin, Randy Ferbey or Kevin Koe won the Alberta Championship for the first time since 1999 (although Kevin Martin coached Alberta's Brendan Bottcher).
