to John Shuster of the United States, the first time a Canadian team had failed to make the finals at the Olympics. The team then lost again in the bronze medal match versus Switzerland, to place fourth overall. Koe was the first skip to fail to medal at the Olympics in Canadian history. The team was devastated by the upset loss, with their head coach John Dunn telling CBC News a year later that "The Olympics will scar all of us who went through that forever." On April 15, 2018, Koe won the Player's Championship Grand Slam of Curling event with a 6–2 victory over Niklas Edin of Sweden. After the season, Kennedy and Laing left the team and were replaced with B. J. Neufeld and Colton Flasch. Post Olympics (2018–2020) Koe and his new team began the 2018–19 season by winning the first leg of the Curling World Cup, defeating Norway's Steffen Walstad in the final.

In February, Team Koe finished runner-up to Team Bottcher at the 2019 TSN All-Star Curling Skins Game, earning $36,000 for their second place finish. In provincial playdowns, the Koe rink lost two of their first three games at the 2019 Boston Pizza Cup, before winning five straight games to claim the Alberta provincial title. The team represented Alberta at the 2019 Tim Hortons Brier where they went undefeated throughout the entire tournament.
