After two days off the ice, the Carolina Hurricanes returned to practice Wednesday with some invited guests at PNC Arena: 9,000 screaming school kids.
As part of its “Readvolution” program to promote reading in schools, the Hurricanes had elementary school students from 11 Wake County High Schools in for what they called a “Cool School Field Trip.” It was loud and it was lively, making communication on the ice a lot tougher that usual but providing a lot of energy.
