About Stormy

Stormy the Ice Hog is the official mascot of the Carolina Hurricanes, and the self-proclaimed Mayor of Tailgates, Chaos, and General Hogwash. Equal parts fun, devious, and community-minded, Stormy spends his days firing up Caniacs, causing harmless trouble around Raleigh, and showing up across North Carolina to support schools, hospitals, charities, youth hockey programs, and local events. Whether he’s dancing on the glass, photobombing interviews, or sneaking snacks from the media room, Stormy believes life’s better when you don’t take yourself too seriously. He’s also deeply committed to making people smile, unless you’re a fan of the opposing team. After a certain podcast host recently took issue with Stormy making money for his company, Stormy decided it was finally time to create an official website bio so everyone could better understand the hog behind the legend. Some call him a mascot. Stormy prefers “entrepen-hog.”
