Travis John Turnbull (born July 7, 1986) is an American-German professional ice hockey player who is currently playing for the Iserlohn Roosters in the German top-flight Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL).

Playing career

College

Prior to turning professional, Turnbull played four years of college hockey at the University of Michigan with the Michigan Wolverines men's ice hockey team, where in his third year he helped his team win the 2007-08 CCHA Championship.[1]

Professional

On April 6, 2009, the Buffalo Sabres signed Turnbull to a two-year entry-level contract and assigned him to play for their AHL affiliate, the Portland Pirates.[2][3] On July 15, 2011 the Sabres re-signed Turnbull, who had arbitration rights, to an extension.[4][5] On March 23, 2012, Turnbull scored his first NHL goal against the New York Rangers in Madison Square Garden.[6]

After a productive debut 2012–13 season in Germany with Düsseldorfer EG, Turnbull moved to sign a one-year contract campaign with rivals ERC Ingolstadt on May 28, 2013.[7] He helped ERC win the 2014 German national championship, before returning to Düsseldorf for the 2014-15 campaign. In December 2015, he headed to Sweden, signing with SHL side Färjestad BK.[8]

In April 2016, Turnbull agreed to terms on a one-year contract with German team Kölner Haie.[9] In the 2016–17 season, Turnbull was unable to match his career averages posting just 7 goals and 12 points in 35 games with the Sharks. Leaving Kölner at the conclusion of the campaign, Turnbull opted to continue in the DEL, agreeing to a one-year deal with the Iserlohn Roosters on July 7, 2017.[10]

Personal

Travis is the son of retired NHL player Perry Turnbull.[11]
