Kevin Koe is one of the most popular and richest Curler who was born on January 11, 1975 in Yellowknife, Canada. Kevin Koe (/ˈ k uː iː / KOO -ee; born January 11, 1975) is a Canadian curler. Koe is a two-time World champion and four-time Canadian champion. He was the skip of the Canadian men’s team at the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang.
From 2003 to 2006 he played third for John Morris, with whom Koe would win his first Grand Slam event, the 2004 Players’ Championship. The team played in the 2005 Canadian Olympic Curling Trials, going 6-3 in the round robin, and losing in the semifinal. During this time, the team would also win the 2005 Meyers Norris Penny Charity Classic. In 2006, Koe left the Morris rink and formed his own team with Blake MacDonald throwing fourth stones, Koe skipping at third, Carter Rycroft at second and Nolan Thiessen at lead. In their first season together, Koe would win the 2006 Roaming Buffalo Classic.
The season following their World championship, the Koe rink would win three World Curling Tour events, the 2010 Twin Anchors Invitational, the Skookum WCT Cash Spiel and the March 2011 DeKalb Superspiel. They would not repeat their World title however, as they would lose in the final of the 2011 Boston Pizza Cup to Kevin Martin.
Up until 2010, Koe had little success in his attempts to win a provincial title on the men’s stage, as he and his rink were in the shadows of fellow Edmontonian Kevin Martin, widely considered to be one of the best curlers of all time. 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 then-fourth player, Blake MacDonald (Koe skipped and threw third stones) had a draw to the eight-foot to win, but missed on both opportunities. The next season, the team would win the 2007 John Shea Insurance Canada Cup Qualifier.
Koe’s early career included skipping Team Alberta at the 2000 Canadian Mixed Curling Championship, with teammates Susan O’Connor, Greg Northcott and Lawnie Goodfellow. He led the team to an 8-3 round robin record, and won both of their playoff games to claim the Canadian Mixed title. His early career on the World Curling Tour included winning the 1999 Dunlop Ford Cash Classic and the 2002 Pointoptical Curling Classic.

Koe skipped the Northwest Territories/Yukon team at the 1994 Canadian Junior Curling Championships. He led the team, which consisted of his brother Jamie at third, second Mark Whitehead and lead Kevin Whitehead to an 8-3 round robin record, in a three-way tie for first. This gave them a direct spot into the final against Alberta’s Colin Davison, to whom they lost 6-5 amidst a controversy involving a burnt rock.
His brother, Jamie Koe, has represented the Territories in four of the last five Briers, while his sister Kerry has represented the Territories in five of the last six Scotties Tournament of Hearts. Chief Jim Koe of Aklavik, Kevin’s grandfather, was the pioneer behind the family’s involvement in curling. Kevin’s father, Fred, a politician and former skip, participated at the 1999 Canadian Mixed Curling Championship alongside Jamie and Kerry. Fred is part of the Gwich’in First Nations tribe, which connects Kevin to the indigenous community in the Northwest Territories. The Koe family, received a recognition award at the Aboriginal Sports Circle of Northwest Territories awards dinner, for their years of service in the curling community.
Two months after winning the Twin Anchors Invitational, the team played in the 2009 Canadian Olympic Curling Trials, finishing the round robin with a 4-3 record, missing the playoffs. Later that season, Koe finally won a provincial championship, benefiting from an absent Martin who would be preparing for the 2010 Winter Olympics. Koe went on to win the 2010 Brier, beating Ontario’s Glenn Howard in the final. Koe’s rink became the first team to come out of the 3 vs. 4 page playoff game to win the Brier, and he became the first rookie skip to win the Brier since Vic Peters in 1992. Koe finished with a 9-2 round robin record at the 2010 Capital One World Men’s Curling Championship, finishing second behind Norway. However, in the playoffs, Koe beat Norway twice to claim his first world title.

The team would represent Canada at the 2016 World Men’s Curling Championship, losing just one game en route to winning the gold medal.
