This is the first in a series of articles here at Cardiac Cane that will take a look at interesting or unique former Hurricane’s players. For some of our readers this will be a stroll down memory lane, but with others, it will be an interesting look at the history of the Carolina Hurricanes. This week Cardiac Cane takes a look at Right Winger Kevin Dineen. Dineen was the Hurricanes first to wear the “C” for the new franchise and scored Carolina’s first goal.
According to Hockey Reference, Kevin Dineen was drafted by the Hartford Whalers in the third round of the 1982 NHL draft.
