In his role, Tully oversees business intelligence, broadcasting, communications, community relations, entertainment, fan development, marketing, merchandising, publications/digital content and social networking. Tully provides oversight of the club’s broadcast agreements, and led the team’s effort to launch a 24/7 audio network, Duck Stream, in the fall of 2022.

Tully helped lead the organization’s efforts to bring the U.S. Women’s National Team to Honda Center for a Rivalry Series game vs. Canada in 2020. Through the club’s efforts, the contest set an all-time attendance record for the Women’s National Team in a game on U.S. soil.

He joined the Ducks in 2000 as a Communications Manager, helping enhance the overall image of the hockey club and assisting in the club’s public relations efforts through three lengthy playoff runs, as the team won the Stanley Cup in 2007 and advanced to the Stanley Cup Finals in 2003 and Western Conference Finals in 2006.

Tully graduated from Fresno State with a degree in Communications & Advertising and began his career as a Publications and Media Coordinator for the Arizona Coyotes in 1999. He serves on the Anaheim Transportation Network Board.
