Kevin Koe’s last international curling experience did not go well, but that doesn’t mean he’s about to change his approach for this year’s world championship.
The Koe foursome, which includes third B.J. Neufeld, second Colton Flasch and lead Ben Hebert, is one of the favourites to win the gold medal in Lethbridge. It’s the top-ranked team in the world and one that is coming off a perfect Brier against many of the greatest teams in Canada. Koe proved himself once again to be one of the greatest sharpshooter in the history of the game, making multiple game-winning shots, including a delicate double in the 10th end of the final against Brendan Bottcher.
“A lot of the Grand Slam events are won by Europeans,” Hebert said. “It’s not just by fluke that they go to the worlds and win. It’s a lot tougher to win than it was 10 years ago.” That said, Canada has won five gold medals in the last 10 years at the men’s world championship. Sweden has won three and Scotland and Norway have won one apiece.
As Carey found out over social media in her recent worlds experience, Canadians expect success from our curlers at the international level and will be largely unforgiving if a team fails to perform.
