After dropping second Jacques Gauthier on Tuesday, skip Kevin Koe is going with a three-man team at PointsBet Invitational
Alberta-Koe skip Kevin Koe delivers a rock while playing Nunavut during the Brier, in Regina, on March 7, 2024. Koe will operate a three-man curling team for now. The four-time Canadian and two time world champion fired his second Jacques Gauthier on the eve of the PointsBet Invitational that opened Wednesday in Calgary.
Koe, who also represented Canada in the 2018 Winter Olympics, says there wasn’t enough time to find a replacement for Gauthier for the PointsBet, and there won’t be enough time before next week’s first Grand Slam of the season, which is the HearingLife Tour Challenge in Charlottetown. “I wasn’t sure if I should make a public comment on it, but I wanted to provide some clarity,” Gauthier wrote.
“We struggled at the end of last season and we had some good talks and meetings and thought we could turn it around at the start of the year,” Koe said.
