As I have written and researched the 2006 Carolina Hurricanes roster and where life took them after their time in Raleigh, I have probably been looking forward to Mike Commodore more than anyone else. It wasn’t because he stuck out with his play. It was the robe and red afro. THE robe and red afro. If you followed the Canes in 2006, you know exactly what I’m talking about. I digress.
Drafted in the 2nd round at #42 overall by the New Jersey Devils in 1999, Commodore bounced around the league, alternating almost every season between the NHL and AHL before being traded to Carolina in exchange for a third round pick.
