RALEIGH, NC. - The Carolina Hurricanes' 25th anniversary season was filled with memories for many, including the club's introduction of a Hall of Fame, the first outdoor game, and another postseason run.

But before the ice was officially melted away at PNC Arena this week, select Season Ticket Members (STMs) were able to reminisce one final time and leave their mark at the team's annual Paint The Ice event, presented by Spectrum Paint.

RALEIGH, NC. - The final official event of the 2022-23 campaign took place Wednesday, with Head Coach Rod Brind'Amour and President & General Manager Don Waddell taking questions from the media at PNC Arena.

Below are their thoughts on several pressing topics as the organization shifts into off-season mode.

RALEIGH, NC. - Don Waddell, President and General Manager of the National Hockey League's Carolina Hurricanes, today announced that the team has signed forward Justin Robidas to a three-year, entry-level contract. The deal will begin in the 2023-24 season and will pay Robidas $775,000 at the NHL level and $80,000 at the American Hockey League (AHL) level for all three seasons. He will also receive a signing bonus of $150,000.

RALEIGH, NC. - The majority of the Carolina Hurricanes locker room fielded questions after their exit interviews with the coaching staff and management on Friday, leaving the input of Rod Brind'Amour and Don Waddell as the only remaining item of business before the 2022-23 season is officially marked complete.

The head coach and president/general manager are expected to speak after the holiday weekend, but there was a lot to be learned from what the players themselves had to say yesterday.

RALEIGH, NC. - Not even 48 hours after their season came to an end at the hands of the Florida Panthers in the Eastern Conference Final, Carolina Hurricanes players were trying to summarize their seasons, looking back and preparing to move on.

21 players took questions from reporters for the final time this campaign on Friday, with Rod Brind'Amour and Don Waddell expected to speak next week.

Below is a primary takeaway and video from those who spoke.

SUNRISE, FL. - The Carolina Hurricanes' 2023 Stanley Cup Playoffs run came to a close on Wednesday, falling 4-3 to the Florida Panthers in Game 4 of their conference finals series.

SUNRISE, FL. - With their backs against the wall, the Carolina Hurricanes will once again turn to Frederik Andersen between the pipes as they take on the Florida Panthers in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Final.

SUNRISE, FL. - The Carolina Hurricanes will try to extend their 2023 Stanley Cup run by at least two more days on Wednesday, needing a win over the Florida Panthers in Game 4 to stay alive.

SUNRISE, FL. - "Win or go home."

Well, the Canes are headed back to Raleigh following Wednesday's Game 4 no matter what, but only traveling home with a victory will prolong their hopes of playing for a Stanley Cup in 2023.
