Emmet E. "Tripp" Tracy III (born December 20, 1973) is a retired American professional ice hockey goaltender and the current television and radio color commentator for the Carolina Hurricanes.

After he graduated from Harvard in 1996, he signed a free agent contract with the Hartford Whalers (who soon after became the Carolina Hurricanes); he played two seasons in the franchise’s farm system, in the ECHL and AHL.

On April 26, 2022, Tracy made several strange posts on Twitter referencing a personal struggle with alcohol while misspelling several words in the tweets.

On April 27, 2022, Carolina Hurricanes President and General Manager Don Waddell said Tracy would miss the remainder of the season and playoffs to address a "personal matter"; Shane Willis, the Hurricanes Director of Youth Hockey and Community Outreach, stepped into Tracy's role alongside play-by-play announcer Mike Maniscalco.

On January 7, 2025 it was announced that Tracy shared the title of 2024 North Carolina's Sportscaster of the Year[5] by National Sports Media Association.
