The 1983 Pepsi Canadian Junior Men's Curling Championship was held March 27–April 2, 1983 at the Mayflower Curling Club in Halifax, Nova Scotia.[1]
After the round robin, Saskatchewan's Jamie Schneider rink from Kronau led the field with a 9–2 record. In a five-way tie for second place with 7–4 records were Newfoundland, Alberta, British Columbia, Quebec and Prince Edward Island. This forced a tiebreaker between the five teams to determine the semifinalists.[2]
In the final, Saskatchewan defeated the Frank O'Driscoll rink, representing Newfoundland, 6–5. The game came down to the last shot, with the teams tied at 5 in the tenth end. Newfoundland attempted to junk up the front of the house, but Saskatchewan played the takeout game, giving skip Jamie Schneider an open house to draw for his single point and the championship. The turning point however came in the eighth end, when Saskatchewan stole two after O'Driscoll missed his last shot. Schneider's performance under pressure at the championship earned him the nickname "Cool Hand Luke".[3]
