Ursuliak was given the Order of the Rising Sun, Gold and Silver Rays from Kunihiko Tanabe, Consul-General of Japan in Calgary, on 15 June 2017.

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. 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.^[2]
