Carolina Hurricanes History
The Carolina Hurricanes were established in Raleigh in 1997 after relocating from Hartford, Connecticut, where the National Hockey League franchise was originally founded in 1979. Since their arrival in North Carolina, the Hurricanes have made the playoffs 11 times, captured six division championships, two Eastern Conference titles and the 2006 Stanley Cup Championship.
The team also hosted the 2004 NHL Draft and the 2011 NHL All-Star Game at Lenovo Center, where they play their home games. When the Hurricanes made the playoffs in 2001, against the defending Stanley Cup Champions New Jersey Devils, they lost the series but came back from a 3-0 deficit to force a sixth game — marking what many believed to be the start of real hockey in the Research Triangle.
The 2005-2006 season marked the best in the Hurricanes' history, as the team finished with 112 points, beating the previous franchise-best record of 94 points. They ended up beating the Edmonton Oilers in the Stanley Cup Final, marking the first time in NHL history that two former World Hockey Association teams faced off in the Final.

Nice venue. The pizza was good. The game was great. The only disappointing factor was that I could not hear the announcer when the opposing team scored because he was mumbling. I wish he would be more professional in doing his job.
We flew from Canada & visited our friends in North Carolina. It was their first NHL game. They absolutely loved it.
Had a great time at the game, the people around us were kind and friendly.
Easy access, Easy parking both in and out. Good food selection.
Game was exciting. Easy to get in and out of the arena. Parking was easy too. Didn't take long to get out. Lots of food options and merchandise. Great atmosphere even though a Buffalo fan was sitting next to us. LOL!
This was my first Hurricanes game and I was pretty impressed! From the food and drink options to the ease of parking everything was as best as it could be. Definitely leave early because traffic on the highways going to the arena is pretty crazy. The team does a good job of keeping the fans engaged and you can tell this area loves their Hurricanes. I'll definitely be back!
The seats were great. The people that sat beside me were real neat to talk to during intermission and during the game. And the fans behind me from the other team were very respectful for the NHL code of conduct..
We had a great time at the game. We went to see the Knights play. Had seats in the upper 300’s and I also need to get an extra seat because I have a large service dog and it allows her to have more room. As we were sitting down I was approached by an usher that works that area and she moved us down to lower seats so my service dog would have more room to lay down. From the bottom of my heart I truly appreciate what she did for us. I am truly grateful because she didn’t have to do that.
I was apprehensive about using this technology for the first time as I am a child of the 1950's. I felt uncomfortable with no ticket in my hand and with worries about "what if my phone stops working"!! But everything went off smoothly and I will not hesitate to attend another event now that I gave confidence and knowledge of how the ticketing procedure works.
