description: "James Earl Rutherford is a Canadian former professional ice hockey goaltender and executive. He was the president of hockey operations of the Vancouver Canucks of the National Hockey League (NHL) where he now currently serves as senior advisor and alternate governor. Prior to his position with the Canucks, Rutherford held the same position with the Hartford Whalers/Carolina Hurricanes for almost two decades, assuming the position in June 1994 and stepping down from that position in April 2014. He then joined the Pittsburgh Penguins as general manager, having been named to that position on June 6, 2014, and resigning on January 27, 2021, citing \"personal reasons\". Rutherford has won the Stanley Cup three times as a general manager, with the Hurricanes in 2006 and with the Penguins in 2016 and 2017."
