Two years ago, the Hurricanes didn’t even average 12,000 fans per game. At the end of last season, the Hurricanes averaged just over 14,000 fans per game. So far, The average attendance is over 15,000 fans a game! It’s been loud, the storm surge is back, and the fan base has been revived.

The loudest house in the NHL is back for the regular season! PNC Arena is filling up with more and more fans who have definitely gotten their money’s worth for the home games so far this season with shootouts, overtimes, comebacks and more. Don’t forget to mention the new Jumbo-tron.

All these things combined have been major contributors to the Carolina Hurricanes raging start. Now they need to work harder so that the mid-season slump that occurred last year wont  happen again this year. Just like all things, they have to earn it.

Question for the CC readers: What is the biggest observation you have seen from the Carolina Hurricanes so far?
