Jamie Koe and his Yellowknife foursome made the tough decision to pull out of the Northwest Territories Men s Curling Championship on Tuesday.
Koe, who has skipped the territory at the Brier 14 times, including 12 straight years, made the announcement on Twitter.
In his statement, Koe revealed that the Northwest Territories Curling Association notified teams wishing to withdraw from playdowns to do so before the Jan. 12 deadline. Pulling out of the tournament after would result in sanctions and an one-year suspension with an opportunity to appeal.
