Kevin Koe

Kevin Koe

Kevin Koe (born January 1, 1975) is a Canadian curler. Originally from Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, he now resides in Grande Prairie, Alberta and curls out of Edmonton, Alberta.

In 1994, Koe became the first skip to lead a team from either of Canada's territories to a national final at any level. He skipped his Yukon/Northwest Territories team to the final of the 1994 Canadian Junior Curling Championships. The team lost the final to Alberta's Colin Davison amidst a controversy involving a burnt rock.

Koe would later leave Yellowknife, to curl in the more competitive province of Alberta. In 2000, he skipped Alberta to a Canadian Mixed Curling Championship. From 2004 to 2006 he played third for John Morris. He currently skips his own team, but throws third rocks.

Koe has had little success in his attempts to win a provincial title on the men's stage. His team is currently regarded as one of the best in the world, however he has never even gone to the Brier and while he has been in many Grand Slam finals, he has never actually won a Slam event. In 2007, he almost went to the Brier, but lost in the provincial finals to Kevin Martin. In both the 10th and 11th ends, his team's fourth player, Blake MacDonald had an easy draw to the eight-foot to win, but missed on both opportunities.

His brother, Jamie Koe has represented the Territories in the last two Briers, while his sister Kerry Koe has represented the Territories in the last three Scotties Tournament of Hearts.
