King competed in three Canadian Junior Curling Championships in his junior career in 2018, 2019 and 2020.

The team finished the round robin and championship pool with an 8–2 record, which qualified them for the playoffs.

Also in his junior career, King won a silver medal at the 2019 U Sports/Curling Canada University Curling Championships as lead for Greg Blyde.[4]
