About Jayden King

Born 2002. Jayden King is a curler.

Men's Out of juniors, King reunited with his former teammates Niepage, Lydiate and Del Conte for the 2023–24 season and took over as skip. On the men's tour, the team saw immediate success, winning the Capital Curling Fall Open and reaching the final of the Stroud Sleeman Cash Spiel. They also made it to the semifinals of the Summer Series and the quarterfinals of the 2023 KW Fall Classic and 2023 Stu Sells Tankard. With their points accumulated on the Ontario tour, the team was able to directly qualify for the 2024 Ontario Tankard. There, Team King lost in the A and B brackets to Sam Mooibroek but bounced back to qualify for the playoffs through the C event. Notably in the C bracket semifinal, King and his team faced Kibo Mulima, marking the first time that two Black skips faced off against each other at a provincial championship. In the playoffs, Team King then scored upset victories over Pat Ferris and John Epping to qualify for the provincial final. Facing Scott Howard, the team lost 8–7 in an extra end, finishing second. To end the season, Team King represented the University of Guelph at the 2024 U Sports/Curling Canada University Curling Championships after finishing third at the Ontario University Athletics championship. There, they had a disappointing 3–4 sixth-place finish. After the season, Gavin Lydiate left the team and was replaced by Owen Henry.

To start the 2024–25 season, Team King finished runner-up at the U25 NextGen Classic to Jordon McDonald. On tour, they continued to find steady success, though they did not win any event titles. Their best result came at the Stu Sells Port Elgin Superspiel where they lost in the final to Korea's Park Jong-duk. In the new year, the team qualified for the 2025 Ontario Tankard through CTRS points. After finishing runner-up the year before, the team was not able to replicate their success, finishing 3–3 and failing to advance to the playoff round. For the following season, Daniel Del Conte was replaced by Victor Pietrangelo.

The 2025–26 season marked Team King's best season to date as they climbed to seventh on the CTRS rankings and qualified in all but one event they played. To begin, the team competed in the 2025 U25 NextGen Classic where they were again eliminated by Jordon McDonald, this time in the semifinals. They then played in the 2025 KW Fall Classic where they had an undefeated run up until the final where they lost to Italy's JoΓ«l Retornaz. The team then had a pair of quarterfinal losses at the 2025 Masters Tier 2 Grand Slam event and 2025 Stu Sells Toronto Tankard, falling to Daniel Casper and Magnus Ramsfjell respectively. In October, the team participated in the 2025 Canadian Olympic Curling Pre-Trials, qualifying as the eighth seeds after Team Reid Carruthers declined their invitation. There, the team had an impressive showing, going 4–3 and just missing the playoffs. They bounced back with back-to-back finals appearances at the Broken Broom Tobacco Belt Cash Spiel and Stu Sells Living Waters Collingwood Classic, losing to Mark Kean and Scott Howard. In January, the team played in the 2026 Ontario Tankard where they entered as the top seeds. After qualifying for the playoffs through the A bracket, they lost the 1 vs. 2 game to Sam Mooibroek. They then beat Mark Kean in the semifinal to set up a rematch against Mooibroek in the final. Tied in the ninth end, the team scored two points before stealing in the tenth end to win the game 9–6, capturing the Ontario Tankard title and sending them to the 2026 Montana's Brier in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador. Also with the win, King made history by becoming the first Black skip in Brier history. They then lost to Brad Gushue 12–6 in the page qualifier and were eliminated.

Mixed doubles In 2025, King found significant mixed doubles success with partner Grace Cave at the 2025 U25 NextGen Classic. There, the pair reached the final where they were defeated by Serena Gray-Withers and Victor Pietrangelo 8–2.

Mixed King skipped Ontario at the 2024 Canadian Mixed Curling Championship. With teammates Grace Cave, Daniel Del Conte and Jillian Uniacke, the team missed the playoffs with a 2–4 record, ultimately finishing twelfth with a 3–6 record.

Personal life King is currently a physiotherapy student at McMaster University.
