Starting June 1st, we will be unveiling our list of the best Canes players ever, ordering them from 1 to 50. The players ranked 50 through 26 will be unveiled in June, then the top 25 in July and August.
Our list was complied from the personal lists of all of our contributors. Each player ranking was averaged between all the lists to make one truly definitive Carolina Hurricanes all-time player list.
#46 – Aaron Ward
Few players in Carolina Hurricanes history are as polarizing a figure as defenseman Aaron Ward. For better and for worse, Ward played major parts in all three deep Cup runs in 2000’s, even when he opposed the Hurricanes.
