Ottawa's Bryan Cochrane won his lone provincial championship of his career. His rink of Bill Gamble, Ian MacAulay, and John Steski would represent Ontario at the 2003 Nokia Brier.

The event was boycotted by the Wayne Middaugh and Glenn Howard rinks, who were still in a dispute with the Canadian Curling Association over receiving a share of Brier revenues.[2][3]
