On Sunday afternoon, the Carolina Hurricanes opened their training camp for this season, beginning what is sure to be an exciting week for the entire NHL. The Hurricanes camp in particular is going to be very fascinating to watch for a few reasons. Firstly, this is their first camp under head coach Kirk Muller and in addition to that, they have a few new players coming in along with nine call-ups from the Charlotte Checkers. That's a lot of bodies to sort through with only so many roster spots available and the best part about it is that they have less than a week before their first regular season game.
The Hurricanes are going to have a very brief amount of time to something together here, so I can imagine that training camp is going to be rather chaotic and Muller will have his work cut out for him. Everyone seems to believe that this team will be better than next year now that they have some more offensive firepower but there are still a few things that need to be determi...

Hockey was indeed alive and well in North Carolina during the lockout, as the Charlotte Checkers got off to one of their best starts in team history and have the second best record in the AHL at 23-11-2-3. Their performance during the lockout was very promising for the Hurricanes organization because most of Charlotte's top players were younger players who the Hurricanes drafted...

According to Aaron Ward, the Los Angeles Kings are dealing Kevin Westgarth to the Carolina Hurricanes. Bob McKenzie chimes in that the 'Canes are sending Anthony Stewart and picks (a fourth-rounder in 2013 and a sixth rounder in 2014) to LA. Westgarth only suited up for 25 games last season, but is more than willing to throw his 6-foot-5, 247-pound frame around when he's...

The Hurricanes made their first round of roster cuts this afternoon by sending forwards Riley Nash and Jeremy Welsh to the club's AHL affiliate in Charlotte. Nash was a long-shot to make the team, but many expected Welsh to get a look at the third line center spot. He is going to have to wait until later in the season to get his shot there now. Some may say that neither player...
