playoffs he had to face off against his brother Jamie's team from the Northwest Territories in the 3 vs. 4 game, which he won. He then won the semifinal, before losing to Ontario (skipped by Glenn Howard) in the final. Also that season, Koe won the TSN Skins Game event, pocketing $43,900 for his team. Koe finally won his first Grand Slam title as a skip at the 2012 Masters. After going 3–2 in the group stage, he led his team to three straight playoff wins to claim the title. Also that season, he won the 2012 Canad Inns Prairie Classic and the 2012 Cactus Pheasant Classic. The next season, Koe won another slam title at the 2013 Canadian Open of Curling, losing just one game in the process. The next month, Team Koe played in the 2013 Canadian Olympic Curling Trials, but finished with a 2–5 record, missing the playoffs. On the tour, the team won the 2013 Prestige Hotels & Resorts Curling Classic. Koe's rink won their second provincial title in 2014, finally defeating Kevin Martin in the final. At the 2014 Brier Koe's rink won their second Canadian championship, defeating John Morris' British Columbia rink 10–5 in the final. Koe's rink then went on to represent Canada at the 2014 World Men's Curling Championship. After finishing the round robin in 2nd place with an 8–3 record, the team collapsed in the playoffs, losing all three of their games, including the bronze medal game, settling for fourth place. A new team (2014–2018) Koe's win at the 2014 Brier gave his team an automatic bye (as Team Canada) at the 2015 Tim Hortons Brier, following a rule change by the Canadian Curling Association. However, Koe announced that he was leaving his team to form a new team to prepare for the 2018 Olympics in South Korea, leaving him ineligible to represent Team Canada at the 2015 Brier. Somewhat ironically, Koe's former teammates recruited 2014 runner-up Morris to skip Team Canada for the 2015 Brier. Koe's new team consisted of lead Ben Hebert and third Marc Kennedy who had previously played on the 2010 Olympic champion Kevin Martin rink and second Brent Laing from Ontario who had left the Glenn Howard rink. With his new team, Koe successfully repeated as Albertan champion in the 2015 Boston Pizza Cup, which qualified him to represent Alberta at the 2015 Tim Hortons Brier.
