Hurricanes are in a class of storm called tropical cyclones. Such storms rotate counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern. In a strict sense, the term hurricane is only applied to tropical cyclones in parts of the northern hemisphere, so they do rotate counterclockwise.
