Carolina Hurricanes

The Carolina Hurricanes play in North Carolina, with their home games held at the PNC Arena located in Raleigh.

Jordan Staal is number 11 on the Carolina Hurricanes.

When the Hartford Whalers moved to Raleigh , because of time constraints, the name Hurricanes was chosen by owner Peter Karmanos himself. I understand he chose the name because of the violent nature of hurricanes reflected the violent nature of hockey and , of course, the Carolinas are battered by hurricanes each and every year.

The Carolina Hurricanes won their first Stanley Cup in 2006.

Yes.... 31-17....It wasn't even a good game!! They both sucked until the 4th quarter! It was 7-7 until then. They traded a touchdown. then Florida went up by 3. Then they scored a touchdown on an interception near the 20. USC & Utah are by far better than these 2 teams!!

I am in the hotel industry in an NHL city and can tell you that teams typically stay near the area they will be playing in, but it is up to the individual teams to decide which hotel to use. Thus, you cannot say with any certainty where a team will stay in an particular city.

There is no "shelter of last resort" as there was with Katrina (Superdome). They have basically said that if you stay, you are on your own.

It's hard to quantify this answer with actual numbers, but the Whalers apparently were well supported in both the old WHA and during their NHL years. However, Hartford is a smaller market for professional sports, and owner Peter Karmanos decided to move the team to Raleigh, NC where he hoped a larger market and population would bring more support and thus more money and profits for his team.

They have been in the NHL 13 years.
