Eric Tulsky, the Carolina Hurricanes’ general manager, is reshaping his team after Don Waddell’s departure in May.
The Hurricanes announced on Friday that Tyler Dellow has been hired as assistant general manager and Darren Yorke has been promoted to associate general manager and GM of the AHL’s Chicago Wolves. Dellow, who has a rich history in NHL analytics, worked with the Edmonton Oilers and New Jersey Devils before joining the Hurricanes. His analytical skills mirror those of Tulsky, who also served as an analyst for Carolina.
Dellow’s background is impressive. He holds a law degree from the University of Toronto and was a civil litigation lawyer before diving into hockey analytics . At Carolina, he will manage data analysis and ensure compliance with salary cap rules and collective bargaining agreements. Fans might think this move shows how much the team values strong analytical minds.
New Roles for Darren Yorke:
Yorke has been part of Carolina’s front office since 2010-11 when he started as a video scout. After seven years in scouting, he became director of scouting for one year before moving up to director of player personnel in 2018-19. Both Tulsky and Yorke were promoted to assistant general managers in 2020-21.
Yorke’s extensive experience makes him perfect for overseeing AHL operations now. His journey from video scout to associate GM highlights his dedication and skill set.
Fans might feel excited about these changes because they show a commitment to using data-driven strategies while valuing experienced staff members like Yorke.
