The team acquired its name from a curious, exuberant, long-haired Syrian hamster, (a.k.a. "teddy bear hamster") owned by former Turbos player, Corina Harris.[1] While there are no remaining photos of Turbo the Hamster, his memory has been immortalized.
In the past the Turbos also competed against Bourassa Royal before that NRL team was discontinued.
