At the Rink: Jan. 11

Throwback Sweaters

The Hurricanes, now in their 22nd season in North Carolina, will wear these green sweaters, reminiscent of the threads worn by the Whalers from 1985-89 and 1990-91, which feature white and blue striping along the waist, with angled white and blue striping on the arms. The centerpiece is, of course, the iconic Whalers logo.

Whalers Night Trading Cards + Poster Giveaway

The first 10,000 fans in attendance will receive a pack of Upper Deck Whalers Night trading cards, and the first 7,500 fans will receive a commemorative Whalers Night poster (sections 108 and 323).

Jordy Douglas & Whalers Alumni

Whalers alumnus Jordy Douglas will be honored in a ceremonial puck drop. Douglas will sign autographs for fans from 6-6:45 p.m. on the main concourse outside Section 108.

Three current Hurricanes employees made the move with the team from Hartford to North Carolina:

  • John Forslund, TV play-by-play
  • Skip Cunningham, equipment manager
  • Bob Gorman, equipment manager
Pucky the Whale

Pucky the Whale will be in attendance and available for photo opportunities. You'll find Pucky roaming around with Stormy and sounding the Hurricane warning siren prior to the game.
