Blayre Turnbull is a Canadian forward currently serving as captain of the Toronto Sceptres in the Professional Women's Hockey League (PWHL). A native of Stellarton, Nova Scotia, she began skating as a young child and developed a strong two-way game that carried her through junior hockey and into college. She played NCAA hockey with the Wisconsin Badgers, where she earned recognition early — including a Rookie-of-the-Year nod in her freshman season — and helped lead the team to competitive success before turning pro.

Her professional career began in 2015 when she was drafted by the Calgary Inferno of the now-defunct CWHL. With Calgary, Turnbull helped capture two championships, winning the inaugural title in 2016 and again in 2019. After a stint with the women’s pro-hockey players’ association during the league transition period, she signed with PWHL Toronto ahead of the league’s launch. As a veteran forward and leader, she brings experience, grit, and consistent two-way play to the Sceptres’ lineup.

Internationally, Turnbull has been a long-standing member of Team Canada. She helped Canada earn a silver medal at the 2018 Winter Olympics and played a key role when Canada won Olympic gold in 2022. In World Championships and other international tournaments, she has collected multiple medals while bringing strong defensive responsibility and clutch performances in big games. Her blend of leadership, skill, and resilience — on and off the ice — has made her a significant contributor to both her professional team and national program.word 3-paragraph biography/summary about Blayre Turnbull's hockey career, time playing in the PWHL, any notable awards or accolades and any notable international play.
