Kevin Koe (/ˈkuː.iː/ KOO-ee; born January 11, 1975) is a Canadian curler. Originally from Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, he now resides in Calgary, Alberta and curls out of Calgary, Alberta representing The Glencoe Club.
Koe 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. He skipped Alberta to a 2000 Canadian Mixed Curling Championship. From 2004 to 2006 he played third for John Morris. He currently skips his own team.
Up until 2010, Koe 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, and while he has been in many Grand Slam finals, he has only won three Slam events as a skip. 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 former fourth player, Blake MacDonald had a draw to the eight-foot to win, but missed on both opportunities. In 2010, 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.
