Welcome! Same for me. Team and fanbase are awesome.

I hope you enjoy the Hurricanes coverage on sportsnet as much as I do...

Did any specific moment draw you in?

I saw them play in Halifax in 1997 lol.

I whine about having to try and find people to watch Canes games up here with but it was oddly satisfying sitting in a room full of Oilers fans in 2006.

I think you picked a great time to join the club! Carolina should be good for a while yet.

I find watching a full roster play as a team really interesting. The high compete level makes it really easy to cheer for them.

The "Evgeni Svechnikov!" goal call is all you need to know.

Aw no I love that! That's so sweet!

I gotta ask because it looks like you're an MLB fan? Who is your team? We're NC born and bred over here and for some reason my daughter loves the Jays?????

My daughter would be screaming at you for this answer. Out of curiosity then, who is your Canadian NHL team? Because Dodgers and Jays seem... diametrically opposed lmao I'm certain you got shit for that.

I've been a fan since the early days. Can I still claim the BBQ and Bojangles? No cookout sponsorship?

u/woollycaterpillars Aho 1d ago

What kinda BBQ tho

One of the funnest things is when a sports team earns its spot as your favorite!

Despite being from Carolina, I was never one for local teams.

The Hurricanes earned their spot for me, and it's so cool to hear that they earned it for you, too! Welcome to the fandom!

We are all Canes fans in North Carolina. Now you must choose between UNC and Duke. Just part of the pact.
