The Anaheim Ducks have placed general manager Bob Murray on administrative leave due to “an ongoing investigation related to professional conduct.”
“We recently became aware of accusations of improper professional conduct against Bob Murray,” the team said in a statement. “After internal review, we enlisted Shephard Mullin to perform an independent investigation. Upon recommendation from their initial findings, we have decided to place Bob on administrative leave pending final results. In the interim, Vice President of Hockey Operations and Assistant General Manager Jeff Solomon will assume the role of Interim General Manager. We will have no further comment until the investigation is complete.”
Murray, 66, joined the Ducks as a senior vice president of hockey operations in 2005 where he worked with general manager Brian Burke to lead the Ducks to a Stanley Cup win in 2007. He has been GM of the Ducks since 2008.
