Luc Violette, born March 8, 1999, in Seattle, Washington, began his curling journey at age 11, following in the footsteps of his father, Tom Violette, a two-time national champion. Growing up in Edmonds, Washington, Violette balanced his dedication to curling with academic interests in robotics, engineering, and physics during his time at Lake Stevens High School. He pursued higher education at the University of Washington, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering in 2021. His early career saw him win the U.S. junior championship in 2014 with a team from the Granite Curling Club, marking the first of three consecutive U.S. junior titles. Concurrently, he represented the United States at the Lillehammer 2016 Youth Olympic Games in the mixed curling event.
Violette’s career progression has included significant achievements on both national and international stages. He earned a silver medal at the 2017 World Junior Curling Championships in Gangneung, South Korea. Later, he secured another silver medal at the 2023 Winter Universiade in Saranac Lake, New York. Domestically, Violette has consistently performed, claiming bronze medals at the 2021 U.S. Championship and the 2021 U.S. Mixed Doubles Championship. He continued this national success with a silver medal at the 2023 U.S. Championship and a bronze medal in the 2024 U.S. Championship.
Starting in the 2022–23 season, Violette joined Skip Daniel Casper’s team, taking the third position. This new lineup achieved immediate success, going undefeated to win the Gord Carroll Curling Classic and reaching the finals of the US Open of Curling. The team’s performance earned them a spot in the 2023 Winter World University Games, where they took home a silver medal. In the 2023–24 season, Team Casper continued to build upon its success, winning the US Open of Curling and the St. Paul Cash Spiel. They also made their Grand Slam of Curling debut at the 2023 Tour Challenge, winning the Tier 2 event and earning a spot in the 2024 Canadian Open, a Tier 1 Slam. Their consistent high-level performance has qualified them for the 2025 United States Olympic Curling Trials, marking a significant milestone in Violette’s career.
