Team ejected from World Curling Tour event in Alberta for being ‘too drunk’
A curling team skipped by Jamie Koe that featured 2014 Olympic champion Ryan Fry was ejected from an Alberta bonspiel over the weekend for what organizers called unsportsmanlike behaviour resulting from excessive drinking.

“They were upstairs in our lounge beforehand and everything kind of seemed normal I guess,” Red Deer Curling Centre manager Wade Thurber said Monday. “Our bar staff eventually cut them off and then it was time for them to go curl.
“That was probably the unfortunate thing was they had to go curl.”

Koe, who has represented the Northwest Territories at several national championships, tried a practice slide before Saturday’s game but it did not go well and he decided to sit out.
“He was too drunk to play,” Thurber said from Red Deer. “They played three-handed.”
Thurber said Kidby and Schille did their best to get Fry to focus on the game, but were unsuccessful.
“On the ice, he broke three brooms, Thurber said. ”There was of course foul language, and a little bit of disruption with the sheets beside them.“
“The other guys were trying to control Ryan and they couldn’t,” he added. “He just got past that point of being able to tell him anything. There was some damage in the locker room and some broombags kicked around. It was just conduct that was unacceptable.”

At first I was thinking of the Norwegian curling team. True Viking style.

Too drunk to curl...I would have thought curling sober would be more difficult.
