The Carolina Hurricanes announced Thursday that three new minority owners have joined the NHL team's ownership group, with majority owner Tom Dundon selling portions of his stake.

Brett Jefferson, Marc Grandisson, and retired hockey player Bobby Farnham are the new minority owners who have acquired stakes in the franchise. The team made the announcement without disclosing financial terms or the size of the ownership percentages being transferred.

Dundon, who has served as the team's majority owner, praised the addition of the new partners in a statement. He described Jefferson, Grandisson, and Farnham as accomplished business executives whose experience and knowledge would benefit the organization's continued growth.

Farnham brings a hockey background to the ownership group as a former NHL player. Jefferson and Grandisson join as business executives, though the team did not provide specific details about their professional backgrounds or industries.

The ownership change comes as the Hurricanes continue to operate under Dundon's leadership. The addition of new minority partners represents an expansion of the franchise's ownership structure while maintaining Dundon's controlling interest in the team.
