Don Waddell has stepped down as president and general manager of the Carolina Hurricanes, ending a run that had him build a roster that reached the NHL playoffs for six straight years.
The team announced Waddell's decision in a news release Friday, saying assistant general manager Eric Tulsky would work as interim GM until a permanent successor was found.
Carolina lost to the Presidents' Trophy-winning New York Rangers in the second round this year, with Waddell and coach Rod Brind'Amour holding their season-ending news conference earlier this week. That came as Brind'Amour, who took over to guide Carolina's climb, re-signed with the team in a multiyear deal.
“I have loved my experiences in the Triangle over the past 10 years, and together with a strong team, on and off the ice, we have accomplished many great victories. I am grateful for the support I have received from so many loyal Caniacs. This organization is in strong, capable hands and well-positioned for the future.”
Waddell joined the Hurricanes as president in July 2014 and oversaw team business operations for the past 10 seasons. He previously worked as GM of the Atlanta Thrashers and assistant general manager with the Detroit Red Wings .
