With the music pumping through the building, the Hurricanes charged to the center of the Carol Soffer Indoor Practice Facility and before long, sent two of their teammates to the center of their circle.
And there, the one-on-one matchups began, the yelling got louder and the hits came.
At most other places, what the Hurricanes did on Friday morning when they donned full pads for the first time this spring would be called an Oklahoma drill.
Under Hurricanes coach Manny Diaz it’s dubbed the ‘Big Cane’ drill, though its goal is the same: to get players competing physically while their teammates watch.
