wo-time World Champion and four-time Cana- Tdian Champion curler and his team of B.J Neufeld, and paid a visit to the Chauvin Curling Club on Tuesday, February 4, to hold a curling clinic for about 40 youths from Chauvin, Edgerton and Provost. The event was hosted by Repsol Oil and Gas, one of Team Koe’s major sponsors. The curling foursome spent time teaching young curlers some tips and tricks of the trade as they took part in different drills and exercises at the lo- cal curling club. Koe said he was excited to bring his talents to Chauvin and help grow interest in the game at the junior level. He and his team had been to Chauvin about five years ago for the same type of event, and Koe said it’s important to get kids involved in the game. “Today was awesome. Small town here is what it’s all about, and to see how many kids were out here from towns in the area was great,” he said. “We do some of these each year. The reason we’re here is Repsol Oil and Gas is one of our sponsors, and they have a main office here so we thought it would be a good fit. All of us come from small towns from back when we were in junior curling, so it’s nice to come back and give back a little bit. “Hopefully some of these kids keep on curling. We’re just here to pass on a little information they can hopefully take from this as they keep playing Team Koe, consisting of two-time World Champion and four-time Canadian Champion Kevin Koe, third Photos: Zak the game.” B.J.
