The Deloitte Tankard is the Nova Scotia provincial championship for men's curling. The winner represents Team Nova Scotia at the Tim Hortons Brier. Previously, it was known as the Johnson Cup (1927-1939); British Consols (1940-1979), the Labatt Tankard, Keith's Tankard, Molson Scotia Cup, Molson Coors Tankard (2013-2014), Clearwater Men's Provincial Championship (2015) and the East Coast Credit Union Tankard (2016).
Qualification
14 teams are selected from a "North" and "South" zone playdown to play in the Nova Scotia provincial championship. Two final teams are selected from a last chance qualifier. It should be noted due to the large amount of teams from the Mayflower Club, those teams are divided into North and South regions.
