I wanted to take a few minutes to introduce myself as the newest writer to Canes Country. I am excited to be on board and look forward to covering a team that I have followed for decades.
I am 35 years old and recently moved to Raleigh from southern Virginia. I am a season ticket holder for the Hurricanes and have followed the team since 2002.
My parents got tickets for us to go to Game 1 of the 2002 Eastern Conference Finals against Toronto. From that moment on I was hooked. Growing up in such a rural area I was not very well versed in hockey or even what was going on on the ice when I first started watching hockey.
