But, on the inside, we’re CANIACS! We’re nuts about our Carolina Hurricanes NHL team. Emmett’s the only one in the family that doesn’t have a jersey, yet. He’ll grow into his brother’s soon, though. We have red with a black square “hurricane warning” flags displayed proudly in front of our house. I have a framed print of the team posing with the Stanley Cup on the wall right next to my desk. We’ve made the trek up to Raleigh for three games so far this season and have managed to watch or listen to the rest. I spend whatever free time I have during hockey season talking about and reading about the Canes. I blog about them when I can, but when I don’t have time, I just catch up with my good friend, wufpirate on his blog. My husband and I even try to make as many East Carolina University Ice Hockey Club games over in Greenville as we can.
I have to admit, the biggest reasons I want to move out of Washington is a.) to get closer to the RBC Center and my Hurricanes and b.) so my boys can play hockey. Sad, huh?
Anyway, this post was brought on by another blog post I read this morning. Several Hurricanes and even Coach Laviolette made some hospital visits around the Triangle area and even took some kids Christmas shopping at Target. Its a great article and some great pictures. I saw of my favorite on-ice personalities show their off-ice faces, like Ray Whitney, Chad LaRose, Cam Ward, Mike Commidore, Rod Brind’Amour, Cory Stillman, and Matt Cullen. The guys that do PR for the Canes have a great job. I’m jealous.
After a loss last night to the Florida Panthers, we’ll be tuned in tonight with our fingers crossed that we can finally own the Tampa Bay Lightning at the St. Pete Times Forum. To think, I lived about 50 blocks from that place, 11 years ago, and didn’t even know what hockey was.
