Wally Ursuliak (born c. 1929) is a Canadian curler from Morinville, Alberta.[1] He was the lead on the Alberta Avenue CC curling team (from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada) during the World Curling Championships known as the 1961 Scotch Cup.[2] He was inducted into the Canadian Curling Hall of Fame in 2006.
During the 1960s and 1970s, he along with Ray Turnbull and Don Duguid operated a series of curling clinics in Europe to try to popularize the game. In 1980, he is also credited to introducing the game to the Japanese island of Hokkaido.[3]
