Biography
Game career
A fast-paced player, Jeff Kurtnall signed with the Boston Bruins NHL club on July 6, 1983 as an un-coded free agent. He played for the Bruins from the 1983–84 season to March 8, 1988, when he and Bill Renford were exchanged for Edmonton Oilers for Andy Moog . During his short stint at the Oilers, he helped them win the Stanley Cup in 1988. After only four months, Edmonton traded Kurtnoll at Washington Capitals for his fellow countryman Greg Adams , also grown in Duncan. After two seasons at Washington, Kurtnoll was exchanged at St. Louis Blues for Mike Lalore and Peter Zezel .
Not even a whole season had gone by when Kurtnall became part of the big deal of St. Louis and Vancouver Canucks : Kurtnall with Robert Dirk , Sergio Momesso , Cliff Ronning and future benefits went to Vancouver; Garth Butcher and Dan Quinn proceeded in the opposite direction. This deal was a major turning point for the Canucks - thanks in large part to these players, Vancouver managed to get to the 1994 Stanley Cup finals. Kurtnoll spent another season with Vancouver, then returned to St. Louis before the 1995–96 season. Kurtnall marked his second coming to St. Louis with nearly 80 goals over the next five seasons, but in the past two seasons he was able to take part in just 30 matches due to several concussions he received. Despite this, in the 1997-98 season (his last full), he was able to reach the mark of 1000 matches in the regular championships . After missing the second half of the 1998-99 season due to a concussion, he was able to return to the roster next season. However, after playing just a few matches, Kurtnoll got another concussion, the consequences of which eventually forced him to end his career as a player in the 1999-2000 season [1] .
