Brock McGinn has a hockey team headed to the playoffs, just not the one he wanted.
The Carolina Hurricanes forward is a minority owner — along with his father Bob and two hockey-playing brothers, Jamie and Tye — of the Roanoke (Va.) Rail Yard Dawgs. The Southern Professional Hockey League team soon will be competing for the SPHL’s Presidents Cup.
“It’s pretty cool and fun for our family,” McGinn said. “It’s an investment. It shows us the other side of hockey and lets us learn about the business side.”
While all that is interesting for the family, the Hurricanes missing the Stanley Cup playoffs is a downer for McGinn.
