Jacques Gauthier (born October 17, 1998) is a Canadian curler from Winnipeg, Manitoba. [2] He currently skips his own team out of the West St. Paul Curling Club.
Gauthier played most of his junior career as third for J. T. Ryan. With Ryan, he won a silver medal at the 2019 Canadian Junior Curling Championships and a bronze medal at the 2018 Canadian Junior Curling Championships. In 2018, he got to play in his first World Junior Curling Championships as alternate for his cousin, Tyler Tardi's rink, where the team won a gold medal. [3] .
Ryan aged out of juniors after the 2019 championships and Gauthier formed his own team for the 2019–20 season. His rink of Jordan Peters, Brayden Payette and Zack Bilawka lost the final of the 2020 Manitoba Junior Provincials. They still got to go to the 2020 Canadian Junior Curling Championships, representing the second Manitoba team as Nunavut and Yukon did not send teams. The team finished the round robin and championship pool with a 9–1 record which qualified them for the final. The team curled 92% which led them to a 8–6 victory over Newfoundland and Labrador's Daniel Bruce. [4] At the 2020 World Junior Curling Championships, the team finished the round robin in second with a 7–2 record. In the playoffs, they defeated Germany in the semifinal and Switzerland in the final to claim the gold medal. [5]
Gauthier found success in men's play, skipping a rink out of BC for the 2022–23 curling season. [6] In their first season together, the team won the 2023 BC Men's Curling Championship and represented British Columbia at the 2023 Tim Hortons Brier. [7] At the Brier, the team finished with a 3–5 record.
Gauthier later announced he would be joining the Kevin Koe rink at second for the 2023–24 curling season. Koe qualified for the 2024 Montana's Brier as one of the wild card teams based on their CTRS ranking. However, at their first Brier as a team, they had a poor showing, finishing 2–6 and not qualifying for the playoff round. The team also struggled at the Grand Slam of Curling circuit, not qualifying for the playoffs at any of the 2023–24 events.
At the beginning of the 2024–25 curling season, the Koe team announced that they would be parting ways with Gauthier. [8] Gauthier would go on to skip a new team out of Manitoba for the remainder of the season, where they qualified for the 2025 Viterra Championship, the Manitoba Men's Curling Championship.
Gauthier currently lives in Winnipeg and was a finance student at the University of Manitoba. [9] He currently works as a financial analyst with BDO Canada LLP. [10] He is in a relationship with fellow curler Karlee Burgess. His mother Cathy is a three-time Tournament of Hearts champion and curling broadcaster. [11]
