Tim Turk and Habs head coach Randy Cunnyworth.



Tim Turk with Montreal Canadiens head coach Randy Cunnyworth caught here discussing some of the players performance levels and potential.

Tim Turk always gravitates to players who have the "willingness to learn".

In my experience at the NHL level for many years,the particular players with the willingness to learn tend to elevate thier worth in the organization.

Tim Turk is the Habs skills and shooting coach.



Tim Turk was recently in Montreal working with the Habs. Head coach Randy Cunnyworth understands the importance of the players working on thier individual skills and has always been an advocate of Tim Turk.
