Playing career | 1983–2002 |
Joseph Sylvain Dorilla Turgeon (born January 17, 1965) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey player who played twelve seasons in the National Hockey League (NHL).
Playing career
Turgeon was drafted by the Hartford Whalers in the 1983 NHL Entry Draft as the second overall pick. During his NHL career he played for the Whalers, the New Jersey Devils, the Montreal Canadiens and the Ottawa Senators.
Turgeon scored 40 goals as a rookie for the Whalers in the 1983–84 NHL season, establishing career highs of 45 goals, 34 assists and 79 points for the Whalers in the 1985–86 season, and he scored 30 or more goals four times in his NHL career. However, he suffered a major abdominal injury in 1986–87 and would not reach the same highs again.[1]
In 1989, Turgeon was traded from the Whalers to the Devils for Pat Verbeek, and scored 30 goals in 72 games in his only season with the team. In 1990, he was traded from the Devils to the Canadiens for Claude Lemieux, in a lopsided trade, as Turgeon only scored 15 goals in 75 games over two seasons for the Canadiens, while Lemieux produced 125 goals for the Devils in the next five seasons and won the Conn Smythe Trophy while leading the Devils to the Stanley Cup in 1995.[1]
Turgeon's final NHL season was 1994–95 with the Senators. He spent 1995–96 with the Houston Aeros in the International Hockey League, where he scored 28 goals and 31 assists for 59 points in 65 games. From 1996 to 2002, he played for various European teams in Germany, Switzerland and Italy.
Personal life
Turgeon is the older brother of former NHL player Pierre Turgeon. They are the only two brothers in NHL history to be selected in the No. 1 and 2 slots of the draft (in separate years). His nephew, Dominic Turgeon (Pierre's son), was drafted by the Detroit Red Wings in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft.
Turgeon's trading card from the 1994–95 Pinnacle hockey set unexpectedly jumped in value in 2007, from US$0.10 to more than $70 (equivalent to $103 in 2023), when 2007 first overall draft pick (soon 2008 Rookie of the Year) Patrick Kane – then six-years-old – was spotted sitting on his father's lap in the stands, right at the glass, in the right-hand side of the card.[2]
