Career[edit]
Kurali began his career with HK Poprad, playing in their U18 and U20 teams from 2006 to 2010. He was then drafted 45th overall by the Acadie–Bathurst Titan of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League in the 2010 CHL Import Draft.[1] He played two seasons with the Titan with a spell with HK Orange 20 in between before returning to Poprad.
Kurali would spend the next three seasons with Poprad before joining MsHK Žilina on July 7, 2015.[2] He returned to Poprad once more a year later before moving to Aigles de Nice in France's Ligue Magnus on December 12, 2016.[3] On June 29, 2017, Kurali went back to Slovakia and signed for MHk 32 Liptovský Mikuláš.[4]
On February 10, 2020, Kurali moved to HKM Zvolen for the remainder of the 2019–20 Tipsport Liga season[5] which would eventually end prematurely due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[6] On July 21, 2020, Kurali returned to MHk 32 Liptovský Mikuláš.
