Hurricanes name Dudley senior VP of hockey operations | News & Observer

The Carolina Hurricanes continued to reshape their front office Tuesday, naming Rick Dudley as senior vice president of hockey operations.

“Rick brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to our management group,” Hurricanes owner Tom Dundon said in a statement. “He has been a part of building championship teams on every level of professional hockey, and will play an important role in helping us build a winner in Raleigh.”

Dudley, 69, left the Montreal Canadiens organization, where he also served as senior VP of hockey operations.

The announcement on Dudley came one day after Dundon and the Canes terminated the contract of former general manager Ron Francis, who was reassigned to the position of president of hockey operations in March.
