The 1992 Labatt Brier was held from March 8 to 15 at the Agridome in Regina, Saskatchewan.[1]

Vic Peters of Manitoba defeated Russ Howard of Ontario in the final in an extra end to win his first and only Brier of his career.[2] In the 9th end, Howard had a chance to get a three-ender and take a commanding 5–3 lead, but jammed his pick attempt, scoring just one, and gave Peters hammer in the 10th end, tied 3–3. In the 10th end, Peters had nearly won the game, but a measurement revealed that his hit and roll attempt rolled just outside of the rings, blanking the end. Peters finally won the game by making a hit and roll into the house on his final rock of the extra end. It was Manitoba's 23rd Brier championship, and the first since 1984. Howard was the favourite to win the event, having only lost four games all season prior to the Brier. With the win, Vic Peters and his team of Dan Carey, Chris Neufeld and Don Rudd went on to represent Canada at the 1992 World Men's Curling Championship.[3]
