What better way to end the busiest day of the preseason than by breaking a couple of bits of news during the Carolina Hurricanes’ Canes Corner program at Backyard Bistro and on 99.9 The Fan on Tuesday night?
Coach Bill Peters, during his appearance with GM Ron Francis and new Canes employee Mike Maniscalco (more on that in a second), announced that the Canes have decided to not name a captain for the 2016-17 season. Instead, the Canes have named four alternate captains, two permanent and two sharing a rotating slot.
Forward Jordan Staal and defenseman Justin Faulk will serve as permanent alternate captains this season.
