Championships
Turnbull, a native of Huntsville, Ontario won the 1965 Brier as the lead for the Terry Braunstein team. The team would finish second to the United States in the World Curling Championships. He was named the all-star lead at both competitions.[1]
Broadcasting
After his career ended, Turnbull and fellow curlers Wally Ursuliak and Don Duguid led dozens of clinics in Canada and Europe.[2] He has coached and taught 17 world champions.[1]
In 1981, Turnbull was chief umpire at the World Curling Championships. After the final draw, Turnbull rousted a Global sports reporter for ignoring CBC's television rights. That reporter, Vic Rauter, would become Turnbull's broadcasting partner five years later.[3]
Turnbull retired from broadcasting at the end of the 2009–10 curling season.[1]
Honors
In 1993, he was inducted into the Canadian Curling Hall of Fame as both a curler and a builder.[4]
