"Eric is ready for this opportunity, said owner Tom Dundon. "He has a proven history of managing people and overseeing operations both outside of hockey and over the last decade with the Hurricanes. His dedication, work ethic, and attention to detail make him the ideal candidate to become our next general manager. Everything we do here is collaborative, and Eric will work closely with Darren Yorke, Rod Brind'Amour, and our leadership team to continue building a championship-caliber hockey club."
