Eric Duhatschek is a distinguished Canadian sports journalist. Duhatschek won the 2001 Elmer Ferguson Memorial Award for distinguished ice hockey journalism and is a member of the Hockey Hall of Fame, for which he is also on the selection committee.

Based in Calgary, Alberta, he is currently the lead hockey columnist for The Globe and Mail.
