[1] Team Alberta, who was skipped by Hec Gervais captured the Brier tankard by finishing round robin play 8–2.

First place Alberta lost big to Ontario 12–5, Quebec defeated Newfoundland 9–4, Saskatchewan rolled past Nova Scotia 11–3.

Northern Ontario would be eliminated from contention with an 11–6 loss to British Columbia while New Brunswick draw a bye.

This is as close as Saskatchewan would get as Ontario scored three in the fourth and stole one the next two ends to take a commanding 6–1 lead through the halfway point.

[3] The 1974 Brier was also the final year where throwers were not allowed to slide past the hog line on their throws.

However, after enforcing the rules earlier in the tournament, officials stopped part way through due to backlash from some of the curlers.

Then later on, officials changed the rules mid-week to state that curlers could slide over the line as long as they had released the rock first.
