In 1987 The team of Paul Flemming, Mike Mawhinney, Glen MacLeod, and Chris Oxner represented Nova Scotia at Canada Winter Games, in Sydney, Nova Scotia. After finishing with an undefeated record in the round robin, including a convincing victory over Ontario's Wayne Middaugh. A semi-final win followed against Saskatchewan. The Flemming team gained control of the gold medal game against John Boswick of Manitoba and held the lead until a series of nose hits on peels led to a Manitoba steal in the 9th end, giving Nova Scotia last rock in the 10th end with the game tied.
