My name is Ben Huffman. Born and raised in North Carolina, most of my life has centered around the Carolina Hurricanes. I've been fortunate to experience the best and worst throughout their time in Raleigh. Now, I get to do my part and write about my favorite team. I look forward to sharing my thoughts with everyone.
