The biggest story is recently is the return of Jalen “Chat-Man-Du” Chatfield to the line up. He is a great defensemen that typically plays on the 4th pair.
Also, the Hurricanes celebrated Hockey Fights Cancer night along with the rest of the NHL on November 30th with a special moment of silence for all of those families who have lost someone to cancer. That was particularly special to me since several of my family members have had cancer.
Finally, did you see our broadcast buddy Emma Cain covering the Governor’s Cup game between the UNC and NC State hockey teams? She was there, interviewing the players and getting the break down!
We have some really exciting interviews coming up just as soon as we can get them in. It’s really a lot of fun to talk to so many people that have such cool jobs centered around hockey.
