Kyle Turris has retired from the NHL after 14 seasons and was named special adviser to the general manager and player development coach for the Coquitlam Express of the British Columbia Hockey League on Wednesday.
Turris, who turned 33 on Sunday, had four points (one goal, three assists) in 23 games with the Edmonton Oilers last season. He was an unrestricted free agent after completing a two-year, $3.3 million contract ($1.65 million average annual value) he signed with Edmonton on Oct. 9, 2020.
Selected by the Phoenix Coyotes with the No. 3 pick in the 2007 NHL Draft, Turris had 425 points (168 goals, 257 assists) in 776 regular-season games with the Coyotes, Ottawa Senators, Nashville Predators and Oilers. He also had 32 points (14 goals, 18 assists) in 69 Stanley Cup Playoff games.
Turris played two seasons of junior hockey for Coquitlam (2005-07) when the team was located in Burnaby, British Columbia.
“The Express organization played a key role in my personal and professional growth,” Turris said. “I am excited about having the opportunity to work with [chief operating officer and general manager] Tali [Campbell] and [coach] Patrick [Sexton] as they help each player develop individually, while pursuing the Fred Page Cup as a team.”
When Turris played for Burnaby, he was named BCHL Coastal Conference rookie of the year in 2005-06. That same season, he helped the team win the Fred Page Cup, the BCHL championship, and the Royal Bank Cup, Canada’s national Junior A championship.
In 2006-07, he was named BCHL Coastal Conference most valuable player after he had a league-best 66 goals in 53 games and was second with 121 points.
“I am really excited to have Kyle joining the team on the management side of things and with the players,” Campbell said. “Anytime you can get your alumni involved at any level is great. But for someone like Kyle to jump on board in this big way is fantastic and will help us to grow our program and bring the Fred Page Cup back to Coquitlam.”
