The Carolina Hurricanes have added Ricky Olczyk as an assistant general manager.
Hurricanes GM Ron Francis announced Olczyk’s hiring on Friday.
Olczyk, 44, has spent the past six seasons as assistant GM of the Edmonton Oilers. He is the younger brother of former NHL player and coach Eddie Olczyk.
“Ricky brings a wealth of experience to the Hurricanes,” Francis said in a team release. “His legal expertise with the Collective Bargaining Agreement and other areas of hockey operations will be a great asset to our management team.”
The Chicago native ran his own legal consulting firm prior to joining the Oilers in 2007 as director of hockey administration and legal affairs.
