A key to the Canes’ success this season has been the development of some key young players. Which ones have taken a big step forward?

Unfortunately, after NHL game play was suspended indefinitely yesterday in the midst of the global coronavirus outbreak, sadness will reign down on hockey fans everywhere. It was absolutely the right call, but we’re allowed to be selfishly upset about it, damnit!

With Canes hockey on hold for the foreseeable future, the only way for me to satisfy my intense hockey craving is by writing about it. So, unfortunately for Cardiac Cane followers, you guys might be reading a lot from me lately!

Today we’ll touch on the development of some of the younger guys in the Hurricanes lineup – there is four kids specifically whose elevated play has been a huge difference maker for a team currently sitting in a playoff position(!).

Remember friends, there’s going to undoubtedly be some tough times ahead in the hockey world (and the world in general), but we’re all in this together. I’m prepared to work relentlessly on writing articles to help fulfill everyone’s daily need of Hurricanes content. Let’s get started here.
