Just a few days before the beginning of a new hockey season, the Carolina Hurricanes announced Monday that Doug Warf had resigned as president of Hurricanes Holdings, LLC.
Warf has a long background with the organization, working with the Hurricanes from 2000 to 2017 in sales and marketing, then returning as president in July 2024 after previous president and general manager Don Waddell left for the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Team owner Tom Dundon said in a statement: “Doug has a passion for the Hurricanes and our market, and we’re grateful for his time with the organization. I wish him all the best in the next chapter of his career.”
Warf was president of MDO Holdings, a Raleigh-based investment and management firm, before taking over as president of the Hurricanes. He was to oversee all business operations for the team and the arena, noting he had worked under three previous Hurricanes presidents.
“I know the expectations for this position are very high,” he said in 2024.
Warf, in a statement released Monday by the team, said, “I appreciate all that Tom is doing for our area, specifically for the team that I love, and I’ve been grateful for the opportunity to be a part of it.
“I’m proud of everything we accomplished over the past year off the ice, and I truly enjoyed working with Brian Fork, Eric Tulsky, Rod Brind’Amour and the rest of the team’s leadership.”
Warf could not be reached Monday for comment.
