Carolina is on that Ivy League swag!
The Carolina Hurricanes have decided to promote their interim general manager Eric Tulsky to permanent status.
Carolina’s decision, which they announced Tuesday, comes after Don Waddell resigned on May 24, then went on to join the Columbus Blue Jackets as their general manager. (RELATED: Netherlands Manager Ronald Koeman Caught On Video Eating Boogers At Euro 2024)
Previously, Tulsky put in his time as an analyst, analytics manager and assistant GM, working his way up the Hurricanes organization. Now, he’s tasked with switching up a roster that has clinched six straight playoff appearances but has been unable to make it to the Stanley Cup Final.
“Eric is ready for this opportunity,” said owner Tom Dundon in an official statement. “He has a proven history of managing people and overseeing operations both outside of hockey and over the last decade with the Hurricanes.”
Officially official!
Eric Tulsky has been named the General Manager of the #Canes.

Harvard. U.C. Berkeley. Nanotechnology. DNA sequencing. Solar energy. What hasn’t this guy done?
It’s quite clear that the Hurricanes are going for a sophisticated analytics strategy here, and quite frankly I like it!
Can’t wait for the movie about Tulsky. Call it “Moneypuck,” I guess.
