Happy 4th of July to all the great American fans of the Carolina Hurricanes! Today we look at some of the top American Players in team history!

Red, White, and Blue. Or in the case of the Carolina Hurricanes, Red, White, Black, and Blue line. Nested between two of the most important Army and Marine bases in the nation, the Carolina Hurricanes have made it a habit to be one of the most American patriotic teams in the league, hosting several military appreciation nights, and always taking time to honor those who served.

They also take great pride in how they present their American heritage. All the great American Heros on and off the ice. From the Broadcast team to the players on the ice, the Carolina Hurricanes have had a good share of Americans who will go down into history as some of the best at what they do.

Today, Independence day, we look back, as well as forward, at some of these great American players and breakdown the top five American skaters to ever don a Carolina Hurricanes jersey and play the great sport in the city of Raleigh.
