Darren Turcotte (born March 2, 1968) is an American former professional Ice hockey player.
Early life
Turcotte's family moved to North Bay, Ontario where he spent most of his childhood. After his family returned to northern Ontario, he began playing ice hockey at the age of five. He then played six seasons with the Pinehill Coffee Shop 'AAA' minor hockey team, which at the time was coached by his father Don Turcotte. After he scored 49 points in 40 games in the IHL, he was called back up to New York. When Nipissing gained a women's ice hockey team in 2012, Turcotte made the switch to coaching women's hockey. He also coached the North Bay Ice Boltz midget AA girls' team, taking them to the finals of a LLFHL championship tournament in 2012 and the Esso Cup national championship in 2013. On April 27, 2004, Turcotte was the 196th inductee into the North Bay Hockey Hall of Fame
