With a young talented defense, and one of the most exciting players in the game in Christian McCaffrey, this team can be a lot of fun to watch.
Raleigh is the home of the NHL’s Carolina Hurricanes. Formerly the Hartford Whalers, the team moved to North Carolina in 1997. Winners of the 2006 Stanley Cup, the Hurricanes have grown an incredible, energized fan base of both transplants and lifelong residents. Currently, the Hurricanes boast one of the NHL’s best teams with young talents at all positions. This team is considered to be a contender for the next several years, and a second Stanley Cup may be in Raleigh’s near future. Another great thing the organization is that they also have some of the NHL’s lowest ticket prices.
