New G.M. to be Announced Next Week

I spoke with Hurricanes Governor Herman Elfring early Friday afternoon.

He told me the hiring committee interviewed 4 candidates for the vacant G.M.'s job over the past two weeks and that one of those candidates will be offered the position this weekend.

Elfring expects the team will hold a press conference late next week to make an announcement. He says all 4 candidates interviewed well and have very good credentials. He says this has not been an easy process but noted from the outset, they thought this might take a little longer than people had hoped.

Elfring and President Bryan McNaughton are heading to Vancouver for the WHL's annual meetings and a recommendation for the new G.M. could come to the Hurricanes Board on Wednesday when they get back to Lethbridge, with an announcement either Thursday or Friday.

Thanks,
Pat
