Carolina Hurricanes owner Tom Dundon is drawing widespread criticism after the names of his wife and children were engraved on the Stanley Cup above players associated with the team’s championship. Multiple outlets report that six members of Dundon’s family are included among the 53 names newly added to the Cup. Several sources say Dundon’s family names appear in the first two rows of the trophy, leading some fans to call the decision disrespectful or inappropriate, particularly because some key non-player contributors were not included. At least one outlet also reports that Joel Nystrom, a Hurricanes player who appeared in 38 games the prior season, was omitted from the engraving list. The Athletic provides context on how the NHL’s engraving process works and notes the number of names added. Across coverage, the controversy centers on the placement of Dundon’s family names and the inclusion or omission of others who helped the organization reach the title.
