Three Carolina Hurricanes Games You Don’t Want to Miss in 2020
Hornets Night: Hurricanes vs New York Rangers, February 21st, 2020
For the first time in Carolina Hurricanes History, they will have a night where they celebrate the Charlotte Hornets. Hornets Night is rumored to feature Hornets style warm up Jerseys that might be up for auction after the game. It will also be a third Jersey night as it falls on a Friday. This is the chance to be a part of something new and exciting with the Canes.
It is also a chance to be a part of a somber moment as the Team will more than likely pay tribute to one of the greatest athletes and basketball players in history, taken from us too soon. While Kobe Bryant wasn’t a perfect man, there is no denying the impact he has had on the world of sports.
Not many athletes transcend their individual sport and become a household name in virtually every household across the country, even those that have never watched basketball, or any sport for that matter. We have all shouted “Kobe” when we toss anything into the trashcan from across the room. Now it takes on more meaning.
A win on that day will also be an opportunity to have a Storm Surge where the other team is invited as they all pay tribute to the life of an athlete that has made an impact on everyone. Kobe, if invited, would absolutely have been part of a Storm Surge. This makes this game an absolute cannot miss game for the Hurricanes.
