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.

Who knew hockey in the south could be fun???
by FormerCapsFan on 7/12/09RBC Center - RaleighRating: 5 out of 5Every hockey game I've ever been to has been in NY or DC so I wasn't very enthusiastic about hockey in the south. Boy, was I wrong. The parking lot was packed with tailgaters, the crowed was a sea of 'Canes jerseys, the people around us were totally into it, and it was by far the most diverse crowd I've ever seen at an NHL game. Carolina loves their 'Canes and they made sure the team knew it. Up north, most people take the subway to a game after work and get sushi or tapas beforehand. I had no idea what I was missing! We'll be back next season. Although the cheerleaders may have been a bit much!
