Charlotte Hounds

The Charlotte Hounds are currently on hiatus until 2021 due to renovations being made to Memorial Stadium and the MLL doing league reconstruction. However, what better way to make their return than with a promotional night with the Hurricanes?

This would be extremely beneficial for the Hounds upon their return to Major League Lacrosse. Though I’ve followed them since 2014, they are not a household name when it comes to North Carolina sports. A night with the Canes could help get the word out that they are back and ready to contend for a championship.

The Hounds have plenty of time to plan their promotional nights for their return. But one with the Hurricanes would be something special. Also considering the Hounds are in Charlotte, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to see if they could get Hugo Hornet and Sir Purr to come hang out with Stormy and Blue.

There are many other teams all over North Carolina that could host a hockey night with the Hurricanes. Though some franchises are bigger than others, that should not deter the smaller ones from hosting what would be an extremely fun night for all involved. Personally, I’d love to see the Down East Wood Ducks have a night with the Hurricanes. On to the next:
