— For Kevin Koe and Ben Hebert, winning the Canadian men’s curling championship a year after missing the medals at the Winter Olympics felt sweet. With previous victories in 2010, 2014 and 216, Koe joined Randy Ferbey, Kevin Martin and Ernie Richardson among skips who have won four national titles. They joined Koe prior to this season and appeared in their first Brier final. Koe won world titles in 2010 in Cortina, Italy and again in 2016 in Basel, Switzerland, with Hebert. Brier winners earn $70,000 in prize money, plus another $30,500 to wear sponsorship crests in the playoffs and at the world championship.
