OTTAWA (NEWS1130) – BC boy Kyle Turris has signed a new five-year $17.5-million contract extension with the Ottawa Senators.

The New Westminster native joined the Senators last season after a lengthy holdout with the Phoenix Coyotes.

Turris played six games with the Coyotes in 2011-12 before being sent to Ottawa, where he recorded 12 goals and 17 assists. He would also add a goal and two assists in Ottawa’s seven-game loss to the New York Rangers in the playoffs.

The 23-year-old starred in the BC Hockey League with the Burnaby Express as a 16-year-old where he led the Burnaby Express to the BCHL championship, advancing to the 2006 Royal Bank Cup.

Turris would score a hat-trick in Burnaby’s victory over the Yorkton Terriers to win the national Junior A championship. Turris would also play college hockey at Wisconsin.
