Martin Crête is a Canadian curler from Lévis, Quebec.[1] He currently plays third for Jean-Michel Ménard.
Career
Crête played as a competitive junior skip near the beginning of his career, finishing as the runner-up at the 2002 Canadian Junior Curling Championships and in third place at the 2003 Canadian Junior Curling Championships. He also skipped Team Quebec at the 2004, 2005, and 2006 Canadian Junior Championships, finishing sixth, fourth, and fourth, respectively.[2] He also competed in the 2006 Quebec men's provincial championship, finishing tied for fifth after a loss to Pierre Charette in the playoffs.
After he joined Jean-Michel Ménard as third, Crête went to his first Brier in 2008, where he represented Quebec under Ménard. They finished in sixth place with a 4–7 win-loss record. The team returned the next year, finishing in fifth place with a 7–4 win-loss record after losing the tiebreaker for the fourth place playoff spot against Manitoba's Jeff Stoughton. Crête and the rest of the team won the Quebec provincials again in 2013 and returned to the Brier, where, after a strong start, they finished in sixth place with a 6–5 win-loss record.
Personal life
Crête lives in Lévis, Quebec. He works as a BI Analyst-programmer for Desjardins Group. He is in a relationship with fellow curler Véronique Brassard and has three children.
