# 2008 Boston Pizza Cup

The 2008 Boston Pizza Cup, the men's curling championships for Alberta, was held from February 12 to 17 at the Grant Fuhr Arena in Spruce Grove, Alberta. The Kevin Martin rink won the final over Randy Ferbey's team and represented Alberta at the 2008 Tim Hortons Brier, which they also won.
This was the first Alberta provincial championship under the sponsorship of Boston Pizza, following the departure of Kia. Additionally, the format of the event was changed from a round robin to a triple-knockout.
