Sylvain Turgeon was a skilled goal scorer who played in the NHL primarily with the Hartford Whalers. A first-round pick in 1983, he had several productive seasons, including a 40-goal campaign, before continuing his career in Europe.

Dominic Turgeon, son of Sylvain, played as a two-way forward in the AHL and NHL, primarily within the Detroit Red Wings organization. While not an elite scorer like his father, he became known for his responsible defensive play.
