Playing Career
Chosen 113th overall by the Minnesota North Stars in the 1990 Entry Draft, he moved with them to Dallas where he played as the backup to Ed Belfour. Despite his backup role, he achieved international glory with the Czech Republic team, helping them to a gold medal at the 1996 World Championships. Turek currently plays for the Calgary Flames
He was traded to the St. Louis Blues in 1999, and finally got his chance to shine as he topped the league with seven shutouts and won the William M. Jennings Trophy in his first season. He played a second season with the Blues before being acquired by the Calgary Flames.
Recently, his position as the Flames' starting goaltender has been threatened by the stellar play of Miikka Kiprusoff as well as a series of injuries he suffered in the 2003-04 season.
