Konings won the 2020 Ontario Mixed Doubles Curling Championship with Lauren Wasylkiw,[4] but did not compete at the 2020 Canadian Mixed Doubles Curling Championship, as it was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As the 2021 Ontario provincial playdowns were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Ontario, Wasylkiw and Konings were selected to represent Ontario at the 2021 Canadian Mixed Doubles Curling Championship in Calgary.[5] At the championship, the pair finished with a 2–4 record, defeating Kim Tuck / Wayne Tuck Jr. and Bayly Scoffin / Wade Scoffin.[6] They qualified for the 2024 Canadian Mixed Doubles Curling Championship, where the pair finished with a 4-3 record.
