The Carolina Hurricanes (colloquially known as the Canes) are a professional ice hockey team based in Raleigh, North Carolina. They compete in the National Hockey League (NHL) every bit a member of the Metropolitan Division in the Eastern Conference, and play their home games at PNC Loonshit.

The franchise was formed in 1971 every bit the New England Whalers of the World Hockey Clan (WHA). The Whalers saw success immediately, winning the Eastern Sectionalization in the WHA's first 3 seasons and condign the countdown Avco World Trophy Champions to cap off the 1972–73 flavour. The Whalers again competed for the Earth Trophy in 1978, this time falling short to the Winnipeg Jets in a rematch of the 1973 Finals. The franchise joined the NHL in 1979 equally role of the NHL–WHA merger, renaming themselves the Hartford Whalers. The team relocated to North Carolina in 1997, rebranding themselves every bit the Hurricanes. Carolina advanced to the Stanley Cup Finals for the showtime time in 2002, where they were defeated by the Detroit Red Wings. The Hurricanes won the 2006 Stanley Cup over the Edmonton Oilers, giving the country of North Carolina its beginning major professional sports championship and its but major championship as of 2021.

Franchise history [edit]

New England/Hartford Whalers (1971–1997) [edit]

The New England Whalers were established in Nov 1971 when the World Hockey Association (WHA) awarded a franchise to begin play in Boston, Massachusetts. For the first 2 years of their existence, the society played their home games at the Boston Loonshit and Boston Garden. With the increasing difficulty of scheduling games at Boston Garden (owned by the NHL rival Boston Bruins), the owners decided to move the team to Hartford, Connecticut, kickoff with the 1974–75 season. While waiting for the completion of a new arena in Hartford, the Whalers played the first role of the flavor at The Big Due east Coliseum in Westward Springfield, Massachusetts. On January 11, 1975, the squad played its first game in front of a sellout oversupply at the Hartford Civic Center Coliseum, and would maintain its home in that location through 1997.

As one of the most stable WHA teams, the Whalers, along with the Edmonton Oilers, Quebec Nordiques and Winnipeg Jets, were admitted to the NHL when the rival leagues merged in 1979. Notwithstanding, under pressure from the extant NHL team in the New England area, the Boston Bruins, the Whalers were compelled to rename the team the Hartford Whalers. The Whalers were never as successful in the NHL as they had been in the WHA, recording simply 3 winning seasons. They peaked in the mid-to-late 1980s, winning their but playoff series in 1986 over the Nordiques before bowing out in the second round to the Montreal Canadiens, taking the Habs to overtime of Game vii in the process. The side by side year, the club secured the regular-season Adams Division title, only to autumn to the Nordiques in half dozen games in the first round of the playoffs. In 1992, the Whalers made the playoffs for the final time, but were bounced in the get-go round in seven games past the Canadiens. Ii years later, the squad hired Jim Rutherford as full general manager, a position that he would hold within the franchise for twenty years.

For years, the organization maintained many Whalers connections among its off-water ice personnel; in improver to many members of executive management and the coaching staff, broadcasters Chuck Kaiton, John Forslund and Tripp Tracy (at the time a minor-league thespian), and equipment managers Wally Tatomir, Skip Cunningham and Bob Gorman all made the move to North Carolina with the team. Finally, the one-time goal horn from the Hartford Borough Center remains in utilise at PNC Arena. Kaiton and Forslund would both somewhen go out the franchise; Kaiton in 2018 and Forslund in 2021.[5] [6]

Move to North Carolina (1997–2001) [edit]

The Whalers were plagued for most of their existence past express marketability. Hartford was the smallest American market in the league and was located on the traditional dividing line betwixt the home territories for New York City and Boston teams. It did not help matters that the Hartford Civic Center was ane of the smallest arenas in the league, seating under xvi,000 spectators for hockey. The Whalers' off-ice problems were magnified when the showtime of the 1990s triggered a spike in actor salaries.

Despite assurances made when he purchased the squad in 1994 that the Whalers would remain in Hartford at least through 1998, in March 1997, owner Peter Karmanos announced that the team would move elsewhere later on the 1996–97 flavor because of the team's inability to negotiate a satisfactory construction and charter package for a new loonshit in Hartford. On May half dozen, 1997, Karmanos announced that the Whalers would move to the Research Triangle expanse of North Carolina and the new Amusement and Sports Loonshit (ESA) in Raleigh. Due to the relatively short time frame for the motion, Karmanos himself thought of and decided upon the new name for the club, the Carolina Hurricanes, rather than holding a contest as is sometimes done. Subsequently that summer, the team dropped the Whalers' colors of blueish, dark-green and silver for a new blackness-and-red scheme, matching the colors of the N Carolina State University Wolfpack, with whose men'south basketball team they would share the arena in Raleigh. The Hurricanes inherited the Whalers' identify in the Northeast Division.

Unfortunately for the squad, the ESA would not be complete for ii more years. The just arena in the Triangle expanse with an ice establish was 45-yr-onetime Dorton Arena; at 5,100 seats, it was too small-scale. The Hurricanes chose to play home games in Greensboro, ninety minutes west of Raleigh, for their first two seasons later on the move. However, the squad would be based in Raleigh and practice in nearby Hillsborough—effectively saddling the Hurricanes with 82 route games for the adjacent two years. This option was disastrous for the franchise's omnipresence and reputation. With a capacity of over 21,000 people for hockey, the Greensboro Coliseum was the highest-capacity loonshit in the NHL. However, Triangle-area fans balked at making the 80-mile bulldoze down I-40 to Greensboro. Likewise, fans from the Piedmont Triad more often than not refused to support a lame-duck team that had displaced the popular Greensboro/Carolina Monarchs minor-league franchise. As a result, even with the first game hosting more than xviii,000 fans, near games in Greensboro attracted crowds of ten,000 or fewer. The crowds looked fifty-fifty smaller than that in the cavernous environment. Furthermore, but 29 out of 82 games were televised (over-the-air and cable combined), and radio play-by-play coverage on WPTF was often pre-empted by Wolfpack basketball (for whose broadcasts WPTF was the flagship station), leaving these games totally unavailable to those who did non take a ticket. With by far the smallest flavour-ticket base in the NHL and attendance figures routinely well below the league average, Sports Illustrated ran a story titled "Natural Disaster",[7] and ESPN anchors mocked the "Light-green Acres" of empty seats; in a 2006 interview, Karmanos admitted that "every bit it turns out, [Greensboro] was probably a mistake."[8] Under the circumstances, the Hurricanes managed to stay competitive, only notwithstanding finished final in the Northeast Partition with 74 points, 9 points out of the playoffs.

For 1998–99, the Hurricanes curtained off virtually of the upper deck lowering the Coliseum's listed chapters to nigh 12,000. Attendance continued to lag. Most games attracted crowds of well under x,000. Conversely, on the ice the Hurricanes' performance improved led by the return of longtime Whalers' captain Ron Francis, Keith Primeau's xxx goals, and Gary Roberts' 178 penalization minutes. They tallied their outset winning flavour and playoff appearance since 1992. They also won the newly formed Southeast Partitioning by eight points, only their second division championship as an NHL team (following the 1987 Adams Sectionalization title every bit the Whalers). Tragedy struck hours after the team's first-circular loss to the Bruins, when defenseman Steve Chiasson was thrown from his pickup truck and killed in a single-vehicle drunk-driving blow.

Despite a move to the newly completed arena in Raleigh, the Hurricanes played lackluster hockey in 1999–2000 declining to make the playoffs. This season was marked by an ultimately franchise-altering mid-flavor trade which saw Primeau dealt to the Philadelphia Flyers in exchange that included future captain Rod Brind'Amour. With the movement to the new arena, the Hurricanes introduced the Storm Squad who were the very first cheerleaders for professional hockey in North America. In 2000–01, the Hurricanes managed to claim the 8th seed, nosing out the Boston Bruins, and landed a first-circular match-up with the defending champions, the New Jersey Devils. The Devils eliminated the Hurricanes in six games. Down 3–0 in the serial, the Hurricanes extended it to a sixth game, thereby becoming only the tenth squad in NHL history to practise so. Game 6 in Raleigh featured their all-time playoff crowd that year, as well as their loudest.[nine] Despite the five–ane loss, Carolina was given a standing ovation past their home crowd as the game ended, erasing some of the doubts that the city would not warm up to the team.[x]

Stanley Cup Finals and slow starts (2001–2006) [edit]

The Hurricanes made national waves for the first time in the 2002 playoffs. They survived a late charge from the Washington Capitals to win the sectionalisation, only expectations were low entering the first circular against the defending Eastern Conference champion New Jersey Devils. However, Arturs Irbe and Kevin Weekes were solid in goal and the Hurricanes won two games in overtime equally they defeated the Devils in half-dozen games. Their second-round matchup was against the Montreal Canadiens, who were riding a wave of emotion afterwards their captain Saku Koivu's return from cancer handling. In the tertiary period of game 4 in Montreal, down two–i in the series and 3–0 in the game, Carolina would necktie the game and later win on Niclas Wallin's overtime goal. The game became known to Hurricanes fans every bit the "Miracle at Molson"; Carolina won the next two games by a combined 13–iii margin over a dejected Habs club to take the series.

In the Eastern Conference Finals, Carolina met the heavily favored Toronto Maple Leafs. In Game vi in Toronto, the Leafs' Mats Sundin tied the game with 22 seconds remaining to send it to overtime, where Carolina'due south Martin Gelinas would score to send the franchise to their first Stanley Cup Finals appearance. During this series, several Hurricanes fan traditions drew hockey-wide media attention for the first fourth dimension: fans met the team at the drome on the render from every road trip and echoed football-season habits honed for games across the parking lot past hosting massive tailgate parties before each home game, a relative novelty in the common cold-weather-centric NHL. Inside the building, the CBC'south Don Cherry lauded the RBC Center as "the loudest building in the NHL", praise that would be echoed in 2006.[xi]

In the Stanley Cup Finals, Carolina would confront the Detroit Red Wings, idea to exist the prohibitive favorite all yr. Though the Hurricanes stunned the Wings in game one when Ron Francis scored in the first infinitesimal of overtime, Detroit stormed back to win the side by side four games. Game iii in Raleigh featured a triple-overtime thriller eventually won by Detroit's Igor Larionov, the oldest histrion to score a concluding-round goal.

The Hurricanes looked poised to pick up where they left off in the 2002–03, merely never recovered from a 10-loss January and finished dead last in the league with 61 points. After a similarly slow offset to the 2003–04 season, Paul Maurice, who had been the team's coach since midway through their next-to-last season in Hartford, was fired and replaced with former New York Islanders bench boss Peter Laviolette. Under Laviolette, Weekes remained tough, but the offense was suspect; center Josef Vasicek led the team with a mere 19 goals and 26 assists for 45 points. Many of the new fans attracted to the team (and to hockey itself) during the 2002 playoff run lost involvement and attendance declined. Ane of the few positive results of these losing years was the team's drafting of Eric Staal in 2003.

Stanley Cup champions [edit]

The event of the 2004–05 NHL lockout led to the shrinking of the payroll to $26 million. The Hurricanes turned out to be one of the NHL'south biggest surprises, turning in the best season in the franchise's 34-year history (including the years as the Whalers). They finished the regular flavour with a 52–22–8 record and 112 points, shattering the previous franchise records of 94 points (in the WHA) set by the 1972–73 Whalers and 93 points (in the NHL) fix in 1986–87. It was the get-go fourth dimension ever that the franchise had passed the 50-win and 100-point plateaus. The 112-point figure was good for 4th overall in the league, easily their highest overall cease equally an NHL team (tied with the third-overall Dallas Stars in points, merely with one fewer win than the Stars) and second in the East (1 betoken backside the Ottawa Senators). The Hurricanes also ran away with their tertiary Southeast Division title, finishing 20 points ahead of the Tampa Bay Lightning. Omnipresence increased from the 2003–04 season, averaging simply under fifteen,600 per game, and the team fabricated a profit for the first time since the movement from Hartford.[12]

In the playoffs, later losing the offset two games of the Conference Quarterfinal serial against the Montreal Canadiens, Laviolette lifted goalkeeper Martin Gerber, who had been struggling to regain his form after playing through a bout of intestinal flu, in favor of rookie Cam Ward. This proved to be a consequential decision, as the Hurricanes went on to win both games in Montreal, tying up the playoff series and turning the momentum around, winning the series on a game six overtime goal by Cory Stillman. Carolina then faced the New Bailiwick of jersey Devils in the Conference Semifinals, which proved surprisingly 1-sided, as the Hurricanes crush the Devils in five games. Stillman struck again, once once more scoring the series-winning goal.

In the Eastern Conference Finals, the Hurricanes faced the Buffalo Sabres, who had finished just i spot behind the Hurricanes in the overall standings. The contentious series saw both coaches – Lindy Ruff and Laviolette – taking public verbal shots at each other's squad, only in the deciding game seven, the Hurricanes rallied with 3 goals in the third to win by a score of four–2. Rod Brind'Amour scored the game-winner as the Hurricanes reached the Stanley Cup finals for the second fourth dimension in team history.

The Stanley Cup Finals saw the Hurricanes facing the Edmonton Oilers. The Hurricanes rallied from a iii–0 arrears in game one to win 5–4 subsequently Rod Brind'Flirtation scored with 30 seconds left. In Game 2, the Hurricanes shelled the Oilers 5–0 to accept a two-game lead. The Oilers won game 3 in Edmonton, two–i, equally Ryan Smyth scored the game-winning goal with two:47 left to play. Carolina rebounded in game 4 with a 2–ane victory, and came home with a chance to win the Loving cup on home water ice. Still, game 5 saw the Oilers come up back with a stunning four–3 overtime win on a shorthanded breakaway by Fernando Pisani. In Game 6 in Edmonton, Carolina was soundly defeated 4–0; the just bright betoken for the Hurricanes was the render of forrard Erik Cole from a broken neck that had sidelined him since March. In Game 7, before the second-largest home crowd in franchise history (eighteen,978), the Hurricanes won 3–1, sealing the Hurricanes' first Stanley Cup title in franchise history. Cam Ward was honored with the Conn Smythe Bays for being the playoffs' most valuable thespian, condign just the 4th rookie to be honored with the award. Several Hurricanes raised the Loving cup for the first fourth dimension in their long NHL careers; Rod Brind'Amour and Bret Hedican had both played over fifteen years without winning the Loving cup, while Glen Wesley, the last remaining fellow member of the Hartford Whalers on the Hurricanes' roster, had waited xviii seasons. On the managerial side, full general manager Jim Rutherford finally won the Cup in his twelfth year with the franchise since joining the Whalers in 1994.

The Hurricanes Stanley Cup championship marked the outset professional major league sports title for a squad from North Carolina. Besides, they were the commencement NHL team to win the Stanley Loving cup despite losing at least ix playoff games in that yr; the 2011 Boston Bruins, the 2014 Los Angeles Kings, the 2017 Pittsburgh Penguins, and the 2019 St Louis Blues, are the just other teams to have achieved this feat.

Mail-championship slump (2006–2017) [edit]

The Hurricanes were unable to follow upward their recent success. Losing iv players to gratuitous agency in the offseason and 222-man games to injury during the 2006–07, the team struggled throughout the regular flavor,[13] and once eliminated in the concluding game, the Hurricanes finished third in the Southeast and 11th overall in the Eastern Conference.[xiv] This cease made them the commencement champions since the 1938–39 Chicago Blackness Hawks to accept failed to qualify for the playoffs both the seasons before and later on their championship season, and the third champion overall to non defend its championship afterwards both the Blackhawks and the 1995-96 New Jersey Devils. In the 2007–08, Carolina again missed out as Washington Capitals stormed back to take the division championship on the last day of the flavor, leaving the Hurricanes second in the division and 9th overall in the conference, and making the Hurricanes only the second club in NHL history to miss the playoffs for two seasons running subsequently a Stanley Cup triumph.

After a slow start to the 2008–09 season, Cup-winning autobus Peter Laviolette was fired in early December and replaced past his own predecessor, Paul Maurice. Teetering on the border of the playoff picture once again, the social club, on February vii, acquired utility forward Jussi Jokinen from the Tampa Bay Lightning in commutation for Wade Brookbank, Josef Melichar and Carolina'south fourth-round typhoon pick in 2009, and so reacquired winger Erik Cole from the Edmonton Oilers at the March trade deadline and proceeded on a 12–3–2 run to close out the season. The stretch run included nine straight wins, matching a franchise record from the 2005–06 flavour, and capped off a streak of 12 straight home wins, which set a new franchise mark. The team finished 6th in the Eastern Briefing with 97 points, the 2d-near points in franchise history.

The Hurricanes' 2009 playoff run featured two tight series with dramatic finishes. Game 4 of the first-circular matchup with the New Jersey Devils saw Stanley Cup playoff history when Jussi Jokinen scored with .ii seconds left in regulation to win the game, the latest regulation game-winning goal in NHL history. Then, in Game seven, the Devils took a 3–two atomic number 82 into the final two minutes of the game at the Prudential Center in Newark before the 'Canes struck. With i:20 to play, Tim Gleason saved a puck on his knees at the correct point, passed it to Joni Pitkanen on the left boards, who then hit Game 4 hero Jussi Jokinen at the far postal service for the tying goal. Merely 48 seconds afterward, Chad LaRose sprang Eric Staal for a solo downwardly-water ice rush to requite the Canes 4–3 game and series wins; Staal's goal was the latest regulation Game seven winning goal in playoff history. In the second-round matchup with the top-seeded Boston Bruins, the 'Canes ran out to a iii–1 atomic number 82 before the Bruins battled back for 2 wins. In Game 7 in Boston, Scott Walker scored the game and series winner 18:46 into overtime to send Carolina to the Eastern Conference finals against the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Penguins, though, put a decisive terminate to the 'Canes' string, sweeping the series 4–0 on the fashion to their own Stanley Cup championship.

As a result of their surprise run, very few changes were fabricated in the off-season. Veterans such equally Aaron Ward, Andrew Alberts, and Stephane Yelle were brought in to help bulldoze the squad further, merely things did not go according to plan. The Hurricanes experienced a 14-game losing streak spanning October and November, and midway through the year, the 'Canes replaced their only post-lockout captain Rod Brind'Amour with Eric Staal. Despite improved play during the second one-half of the season, they could not overcome the deficit from early on in the flavor. The Hurricanes would end upwards with the seventh overall pick in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft, eventually selecting Jeff Skinner from the Kitchener Rangers of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL). Brind'Amour retired over the 2010 off-season to take a coaching job with the club.

The 2010–eleven flavor was widely expected to exist a transitional year from the veteran-heavy, high-salary gild that opened 2009–10 to a younger, cheaper base. The Hurricanes contended for a playoff slot for the entire flavour aided by Skinner's emergence as an offensive miracle who, every bit the youngest player in the league, would pb all rookies in points. Raleigh hosted the 2011 NHL All-Star Game in January, and Eric Staal captained a squad he selected (reverse a squad selected by the Detroit Red Wings' Nicklas Lidstrom) that featured Skinner (the youngest All-Star in NHL history), Cam Ward, and (for the SuperSkills competition) defenseman Jamie McBain. The Hurricanes went into the last day of the season able to decide their own fate, but lost half-dozen–two to the Tampa Bay Lightning to finish ninth in the Eastward.[fifteen] Skinner was awarded the Calder Memorial Bays as rookie of the year, the first player in franchise history to receive that honour.

In Dec 2011, the Carolina Hurricanes fired passenger vehicle Paul Maurice and hired Kirk Muller. On Feb 20, 2012, the Carolina Hurricanes signed Tim Gleason to a four-year, $16 million extension and two days later, on February 22, they likewise signed Tuomo Ruutu to a four-twelvemonth, $19 million extension. Two months later the Carolina Hurricanes appear that they had signed Jiri Tlusty to a two-year bargain that would pay him $one.v million for 2012–13 and $one.vii million for 2013–fourteen (Gleason and Tlusty would eventually exist traded to the Washington Capitals and the Winnipeg Jets over the next few seasons). Despite the signings of Gleason, Ruutu, and Tlusty, the Hurricanes would terminate 5th in the Southeast Division and twelfth in the Eastern Conference during the 2011–12 season, which forced them to miss the playoffs for a 3rd consecutive season.

On May 9, 2012, the 2006 Stanley Loving cup Champions Carolina Hurricanes' Game 7 victory was recognized as one of the NC Hall of Fame'due south "Great Moments" serial.[sixteen] During the 2012 NHL Entry Draft, the Carolina Hurricanes traded Brandon Sutter, Brian Dumoulin and their 2012 first circular draft pick (Derrick Pouliot) to the Penguins in exchange for Jordan Staal, uniting the player with his older brother, Eric Staal. On March 25, 2013, the Hurricanes signed Alexander Semin to a five-twelvemonth deal, worth $35 million.[17] However, in the lockout-shortened 2012–thirteen flavour, the squad would finish third in the Southeast Division and 13th in the Eastern Conference, which would brand the team miss the playoffs for the fourth consecutive season after a strong start was cut short by an injury to starting goaltender Cam Ward.

Pecker Peters was named the head motorbus of the Hurricanes in June 2014. He maintained the position until his resignation in April 2018.

Before the 2013–14 season, the Hurricanes were realigned into the new Metropolitan Division. They would finish seventh in the division during the 2013–14 flavor (alee of only the New York Islanders) and would miss the playoffs for the fifth sequent season, which prompted management to fire caput coach Kirk Muller.[18] In addition, longtime full general managing director Jim Rutherford was moved to an informational role later the season with longtime Whalers/Hurricanes star Ron Francis announced as his replacement on Apr 28, 2014.[nineteen] On June 19, 2014, Bill Peters was named head charabanc of the team. During the 2014–fifteen season, the team finished last in the Metropolitan Division and would miss the playoffs for the sixth sequent season.[20] After team captain Eric Staal was traded to the New York Rangers at the trade borderline, the team finished sixth in the sectionalisation during the 2015–16 flavour. The Hurricanes finished seventh in the division in the 2016–17 season, missing the playoffs for the eighth sequent flavour.

Tom Dundon and the "Bunch of Jerks" (2018–present) [edit]

Before the 2017–18 season, the Hurricanes unveiled new uniforms. On July 13, 2017, it was reported that Chuck Greenberg had sent Karmanos a letter of the alphabet of intent to buy the team for $500 one thousand thousand.[21] [22] On December 7, 2017, it was announced that Thomas Dundon signed an agreement to purchase the Hurricanes,[23] which ensured that the team would not be relocated.[24] The deal was finalized on January 11, 2018, with Dundon becoming majority owner and having a 61 per centum stake in the team, while Karmanos retained a minority interest.[25]

Dundon wasted little fourth dimension in overhauling the Hurricanes' front part. On March 8, 2018, the team announced that general manager Ron Francis had been moved to the role of president of hockey operations.[26] However, Sportsnet reporter Elliotte Friedman reported that the "promotion" was probable in proper name simply, noting that in that location were rumblings Francis and Dundon did not see "eye-to-eye".[27] [ non-chief source needed ] Afterward, autobus Bill Peters resigned from his position on April twenty, 2018,[28] to pursue a like opportunity with the Calgary Flames (he ultimately replaced Glen Gulutzan as the Flames' caput coach three days later),[29] and the Hurricanes officially fired Francis from the system altogether on April 30, 2018,[30] leaving vacancies in both the head coach and general manager positions.

Early on in the Hurricanes' search for a replacement general manager, it was reported that Dundon's salary offerings for the position could be prohibitive in alluring quality candidates.[31] Sportsnet'south Nick Kypreos reported that the Hurricanes were offering "in the ballpark of $400,000 a year",[32] a fraction of the bacon figures of many other teams' coaches,[33] let lonely those of their full general managers, who serve in a college-ranking position. Leading upward to Kypreos' report, candidates such as Nashville Predators assistant general manager Paul Fenton, New Bailiwick of jersey Devils banana general manager Tom Fitzgerald, and Los Angeles Kings assistant general manager Mike Futa had all reportedly passed on the position.[31]

Ultimately, on May eight, 2018, the Hurricanes announced the hiring of onetime Atlanta Thrashers general director Don Waddell as team president and general manager. Waddell had previously been serving as the team'southward acting general manager since the promotion of Francis. At the same time, it was announced that former team captain Rod Brind'Amour had been named head coach, later on serving with the team as an assistant coach since 2011.[34]

On April four, 2019, the Hurricanes won iii–1 over the New Bailiwick of jersey Devils, clinching a playoff spot for the showtime time since 2009 and only the 2d fourth dimension since their Loving cup win. During their stretch run, the Hurricanes gained notice for their on-ice victory celebrations, which they called "Storm Surges." This led Don Cherry of Hockey Night in Canada to call the Hurricanes a "bunch of jerks." The Hurricanes adopted "Agglomeration of Jerks" equally a battle cry,[35] fifty-fifty going as far equally projecting it on the ice at PNC Arena before and after games.[36]

During the 2019 Stanley Loving cup playoffs, on April 24, the Hurricanes defeated the defending 2018 Stanley Cup champions, the Washington Capitals, 4–three in double overtime in game vii, winning their first playoff series since 2009. The team would then get on to defeat the New York Islanders in iv straight games in the second round, recording the beginning all-time-of-seven playoff series sweep in franchise history, and advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals for the kickoff fourth dimension since 2009.[37] It was also the starting time fourth dimension since 1993 that an opposing team (the Islanders), that swept their opponent in the first round, the Pittsburgh Penguins, would and then go on to lose four directly and drop the series.[37] This tendency connected into the tertiary round against the Hurricanes favor every bit they themselves were swept by the Boston Bruins, thus losing the 2019 Eastern Conference Finals.[38]

On February 22, 2020, on the 40th anniversary of the Miracle on Ice, Hurricanes emergency goaltender David Ayres became the first emergency goaltender in NHL history to win a game, a half dozen–3 win against the Toronto Maple Leafs, the team whose pocket-size league affiliate he works for as a Zamboni driver and maintenance man. The flavor would come up to an sharp cease on March 11 due to the COVID-nineteen pandemic. On August 3, 2020, Andrei Svechnikov became the first Hurricanes/Whalers player to score a chapeau trick in the postseason in a 4–1 win over the New York Rangers. By beating the Rangers, the Hurricanes made the playoffs for a 2nd straight flavor. Even so, they lost to the Bruins in five games.[39] [twoscore] The loss also marked the first time since the 2001 playoffs that the Hurricanes lost in the first round.

The 2020–21 season concluded with the Hurricanes winning the Primal Sectionalization, their offset division championship since winning the Southeast Division in 2006. It was too the first time since moving to Raleigh that they had qualified for the postseason three years in a row and the start time in the history of the franchise that a head coach had taken the team to the playoffs in iii consecutive years. They defeated the Nashville Predators in the first circular in six games, just lost to the Tampa Bay Lightning in the second circular in five games. Defenseman Jaccob Slavin won the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy, notably only having two penalty minutes (PIM) for the unabridged season. Defenseman Dougie Hamilton was named to NHL's All-Star second team, and goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic was named to NHL'southward All-Rookie team and placed tertiary in the Calder Memorial Bays voting, while caput coach Brind'Amour was awarded the Jack Adams Award, existence the showtime in Hartford/Carolina history to receive information technology. On June 30, 2021, it was announced that Tom Dundon had purchased all remaining minority shares in the team.[41]

Logos and uniforms [edit]

The Hurricanes' master logo has ever been a stylized hurricane with a tempest warning flag on a hockey stick as the secondary logo. Subsequently the squad's first flavor in 1997, the team altered the color scheme to a slightly darker shade of ruby-red and kept the other colors.

The Carolina Hurricanes currently wearable ruby uniforms at home and white uniforms on the route. While black is one of the squad's core colors, the Hurricanes kept its usage at a minimum, opting for red helmets and red pants while using black exclusively as a trim color along with silver. Nevertheless, the Hurricanes have worn black alternate uniforms for select games.

The initial Hurricanes uniforms featured the master logo in front end with the secondary logo on the shoulders. One indelible feature of this uniform was the red and black tempest alarm flags that dot the tail along with silvery, red, black and white stripes. In 2000, blackness trim was added on the thespian'southward name, and upon moving to Reebok'south Edge template in 2007, piping was added on the shoulder yoke.

In 2008, the Hurricanes unveiled their beginning black alternate compatible, featuring the flag logo in front and the primary logo (recolored to night grayness) on the shoulders. Every bit with the master uniforms, alarm flag patterns dot the tail, albeit recolored to silver and black. "V" stripes of red and silver accent the sleeves and socks.

In 2013, the Hurricanes replaced their main uniforms with a new prepare. On the cherry-red compatible, black was relegated exclusively to the neck pipage, alphabetic character trim and logo, while on the white uniform, it was featured more than prominently on the numbers and striping. In addition, a red nameplate with white messages and black trim was placed near the red shoulder yoke of the white uniforms. Both sets removed the flag logo and warning flag patterns while letters were updated to Univers Condensed font. Despite that, the Hurricanes continued to wearable their prior black alternate uniform with this set.

Upon moving to Adidas' AdiZero template in 2017, the Hurricanes fabricated little changes to the white compatible. Nevertheless, the red compatible brought back a few elements from the original ready, including black striping and the warning flag pattern (now recolored with a dark red shade) on the tail.

In 2018, the Hurricanes unveiled a new black alternate uniform, featuring an updated flag logo corrected to a hurricane warning flag. On the dark grey shoulder yoke, the master logo was placed on the right while the Flag of Due north Carolina was added to the left. Both logos were recolored in black and greyness. The logo also features the land of N Carolina in the negative space between the flags.

Also in 2018, the Hurricanes began wearing green "Heritage" uniforms from the team's Hartford years. In its first season, the throwbacks were used twice, both confronting the Boston Bruins; for the 2019–xx season, the Hurricanes wore them once at home confronting the Los Angeles Kings, and in the 2021–22 season, they wore them once against the New Jersey Devils. During dwelling house games with the Whalers uniforms, the Contumely Bonanza theme would be played after the horn.

In 2019, a new white uniform was released, featuring the "CANES" nickname written diagonally in front and the flag logo returned on the shoulders. The warning flag patterns and crimson messages with black trim also returned. The uniforms came at the behest of owner Tom Dundon, who was non a fan of the previous white uniform.

For the 2020–21 season, the Hurricanes would wearable a "Reverse Retro" uniform, using the template of the 1980s Whalers uniforms but with a greyness base - greyness beingness the only color used by both teams - equally a nod to the 1992–97 uniforms.[42]
