  • Gerard "Turk" Gallant (born September 2, 1963 in Summerside, Prince Edward Island, Canada) is a Canadian ice hockey coach and former NHL player. Gallant was drafted by the Detroit Red Wings in the 1981 NHL Entry Draft, sixth round, one-hundred seventh overall.

His nickname is a shortened form of a nickname his older brother used for him: "Turkey". Despite his smaller stature (5'10, 180 lbs), Gallant was known as a power forward during his time with the Red Wings. He was a team leader, and served as an alternate captain alongside either Bob Probert, Rick Zombo, or Steve Chiasson. He was the head coach of the National Hockey League's Columbus Blue Jackets before being fired on Monday, November 13, 2006. Gallant was an assistant coach for the New York Islanders during the 2007-08 season. On Friday, April 24, 2009, Gerard was named head coach of the Saint John Sea Dogs of the QMJHL. He led the team to their first QMJHL President's Cup Final with a league best 109 points and subsequently was named the 2010 Canadian Hockey League Coach of the Year.
