Kyle Turris played from 2005 in the second-rate Canadian junior league British Columbia Hockey League at Burnaby Express , after he had previously spent a season in each lower-class junior leagues at the North Shore Winter Club and the Grandview Steelers .

In August and September he took part in the 2007 Super Series .

From autumn 2007 Kyle Turris played for the Wisconsin Badgers , the ice hockey team of the University of Wisconsin – Madison , and was the team's best scorer that season with eleven goals and 24 assists. After the end of the season he signed an entry contract with the Phoenix Coyotes in early April 2008 and spent the last three league games of the season with the team.

On December 17, 2011, the Phoenix Coyotes transferred him to the Ottawa Senators in exchange for David Rundblad and a second-round suffrage .

After almost six years in Ottawa, the Senators gave him to the Nashville Predators in November 2017 as part of a larger swap deal that signed Matt Duchene of the Colorado Avalanche for a total of four players and three draft picks . In return, the Predators contributed to this transfer Samuel Girard , Wladislaw Kamenew and a second-round vote for the 2018 NHL Entry Draft .
