Patrick G. Hailley[1] (born May 19, 1940) is a Canadian former curler. He played lead on the 1972 Brier Champion team (skipped by Orest Meleschuk), representing Manitoba. They later went on to win the World Championships in Garmisch-Partenkirchen of that year.[2][3][4]
During the Spring of 1971, Hailley fell victim to Reiter's syndrome, an arthritic disease that hospitalized him for two months, as it paralyzed his limbs. He had written off curling for the next season, but exercised his body over the off-season. An opening on Meleschuk's team allowed for his return.[5]
At the time of the 1972 Brier, Hailley was employed by the Government of Manitoba.[5]
