RALEIGH Youth Harrison Phillips Jersey , N.C. (AP) Dallas billionaire Tom Dundon has taken over as the majority owner of the NHL’s Carolina Hurricanes.
Team officials said the sale closed Thursday, about two months after Dundon signed a purchase agreement to buy a majority stake in the franchise from
longtime owner Peter Karmanos Jr. The NHL says its Board of Governors has given
its approval.
Karmanos will retain a minority ownership interest in the club he moved from Hartford, Connecticut, to North Carolina in 1997.
Article continues below ... NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman is scheduled to appear at a news conference Friday in Raleigh to introduce Dundon. Bettman has said the team is not
moving.
Dundon Mark Andrews Jersey Ravens , 46, is the former CEO of Santander Consumer USA, a Dallas-based lending firm. He’s also an investor in the Top Golf chain of golf
and entertainment facilities and a key financier of a new golf course in
Dallas.
”I think it’s exciting,” Hurricanes coach Bill Peters said Thursday in Washington. ”He’s got lots of energy Mark Walton Jersey Elite , lots of good ideas, excited about the team, excited about the opportunity to implement some of the things that he’s done on the
business side in his life to make it successful.”
Karmanos had been publicly seeking a local buyer for at least three years. He acknowledged over the summer that he and a group led by former Texas Rangers CEO
Chuck Greenberg had agreed to a term sheet but did not come to terms on a
purchase agreement. He also said he was looking for a sale price of about $500
million.
Karmanos bought the Hartford Whalers in 1994 and moved the team south three years later.
Reports about another possible relocation have plagued the Hurricanes even as team officials and even Bettman have persistently and repeatedly denied them.
Bettman said at the All-Star game in January that ”the club is not moving” and
NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly echoed that sentiment by saying the league is
committed to Raleigh in the same manner it has stuck with the Phoenix area
during years of struggles for the Coyotes.
Karmanos in 2015 said ”we’d have to be idiots to move from here,” largely because of the team’s PNC Arena lease Paul Worrilow Jersey Eagles , which extends through 2024 and is considered one of the most team-friendly in the league.
In its most recent franchise valuations, Forbes magazine ranked the Hurricanes last in the NHL at $230 million. Bill Foley paid a $500 million
expansion fee to the league to bring the Golden Knights to Las Vegas.
The Hurricanes have not made the playoffs since 2009 – the longest active drought in the NHL. They moved into a playoff position after beating the
Capitals 3-1 on Thursday night.
Co-captain Justin Faulk, one of several team leaders who has regular communication with the front office, expects more interaction with Dundon now
that the deal is complete.
”Tom’s been around a few times and he’s talked to some players and we’ve gotten to know him a little bit Martinas Rankin Jersey Texans ,” Faulk said. ”Obviously, all the right things have been said, and I think usually they are for the most part unless
it’s maybe the Marlins.
”I don’t know if it’s a sense of relief. Maybe a relief that we don’t have to field questions on it for years to come without actually knowing any
answers.”
