Carolina Hurricanes 2009-2010 NHL Preview:
The Carolina Hurricanes are a dangerous hockey team for opponents in the 2009-2010 season. Carolina had a great playoff run last year, until they ran into a buzz saw by the name of the Pittsburgh Penguins. Some experts have downgraded projections for the Hurricanes this year, but captain Rod Brind'Amour should have his squad ready to play. Expect the unexpected from Carolina this year, but don't count them out from making some noise in the 2010 NHL playoffs.

Having won the Stanley Cup just two seasons ago, the Carolina Hurricanes are one of the most exciting teams to watch in the NHL this year. The team struggled to find success in the year following their Stanley Cup win, but are still stacked with talent and are posed to make another playoff run this season. A Carolina Hurricanes home game this season in Raleigh is going to be a loud and raucous affair as the fans in Raleigh cheer the team on to another Stanley Cup Finals appearance.
The Carolina Hurricanes play in the Southeast Division of the National Hockey League (NHL). The team began as the New England Whalers, part of the World Hockey Association in Boston. Poor attendance moved the team to Hartford, Connecticut, where they would spend most of their history as the Hartford Whalers. The team joined the NHL in 1979 when the leagues merged. The team moved the Research Triangle in North Carolina in 1997 among fears that the community wouldn’t support an NHL team there. Indeed the Carolina Hurricanes performed poorly and the crowds were thin until in the 2001 playoffs, the team went down 3-0 against defending champions, the New Jersey devils, but managed to bring the series to a game six. They lost that game, but the crowd was largest and loudest playoff crowd in team history. From then on, Carolina Hurricanes home games have been rowdy and noisy affairs. In 2002, Carolina pushed their way to the Stanley Cup Finals but failed to win. The 2005/2006 season had the Carolina Hurricanes back in the Finals, this time winning the Stanley Cup and cementing hockey in North Carolina.
The Carolina Hurricanes play home games at the RBC Center in Raleigh, North Carolina. The arena holds nearly 19,000 spectators and is considered one of if not the loudest arenas in the NHL. With a recent Stanley Cup, the Carolina Hurricanes are supported by one of the most rabid fan bases in the league. This is a hockey fan’s dream to see the action at RBC and hear the deafening roar of the home crowd. Buy Carolina Hurricanes tickets and watch the Carolina Hurricanes try to win it all again!
