Carolina Hurricanes History
The Carolina Hurricanes were established in Raleigh in 1997 after relocating from Hartford, Connecticut, where the National Hockey League franchise was originally founded in 1979. Since their arrival in North Carolina, the Hurricanes have made the playoffs 11 times, captured six division championships, two Eastern Conference titles and the 2006 Stanley Cup Championship.
The team also hosted the 2004 NHL Draft and the 2011 NHL All-Star Game at PNC Arena, where they play their home games. When the Hurricanes made the playoffs in 2001, against the defending Stanley Cup Champions New Jersey Devils, they lost the series but came back from a 3-0 deficit to force a sixth game — marking what many believed to be the start of real hockey in the Research Triangle.
The 2005-2006 season marked the best in the Hurricanes' history, as the team finished with 112 points, beating the previous franchise-best record of 94 points. They ended up beating the Edmonton Oilers in the Stanley Cup Final, marking the first time in NHL history that two former World Hockey Association teams faced off in the Final.

Carolina Hurricanes at PNC Arena
Located in Raleigh, North Carolina, PNC Arena opened its doors in October 1999. On opening night, the arena played host to Raleigh's first-ever NHL game when the Hurricanes hosted the New Jersey Devils. The arena has hosted several NHL Stanley Cup Playoff and Final games, including on June 19, 2006, when the Hurricanes had the home advantage and won the Stanley Cup Final in game seven, deviating the Edmonton Oilers 3-1, bringing the Hurricanes their first Stanley Cup and the first major professional sports championship for North Carolina.
In 2019, the arena hosted the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the first time in 10 years and set a single-game record with 19,495 fans in attendance. That record was further extended on May 14, 2022, when the Hurricanes defeated the Boston Bruins 3-2 before 19,513 fans. PNC Arena welcomes more than 1.5 million guests every year.

Such an amazing night with lots of high energy and an overtime WIN!!!!!
I could not be more pleased with the treatment that we received by the employees of the Lenevo Center. They exceeded my expectations!
Although nosebleed seats, still great view. Awesome time with my family.
Enjoyed the Hurricanes game ... even after losing, but I liked that they kept trying hard. Everything is pretty well organized. A bit expensive though ... besides the tickets, another $17 for a beer. Took the cheaper tickets (still not cheap) all the way up (row M on level 3), where it does not feel safe. My wife almost left after a high anxiety scare, so won't be buying any more so high up..
We took our youngest son to his first NHL game. The Hurricanes did not disappoint! Our son was on pins and needles going into the final 6 minutes of the 3rd quarter! We had so much fun watching him absorb the excitement of the Carolina Hurricanes!
Great seats and great atmosphere! Even though my team lost
I love the Canes and I love attending games in person. They are my favorite team and the best entertainment in the Triangle.
I've seen all 4 major North American pro sports live (MLB, NFL, NBA, and NHL) and nothing is better than live hockey. The speed, the skill, the physicality; combine that with an arena packed with passionate, engaged fans and you get an experience like none other. Especially in Raleighwood. Top-tier team, great arena, excellent fans; even the concessions are outstanding. Do yourselves a favor and give it a go if you haven't already, but prepare to be hooked on it instantly.
A link to a parking app from the ticket information makes it easy to purchase parking online. Ticket was forwarded to me immediately after purchase and entrance to the event is a breeze. Seating was as expected. Food and drink inside the Lenovo center is through the roof, as it is with all pro venues. Eat and drink before entering the building can save a lot.
I took my 7yo daughter to this game. If I had known from the schedule it was Pride night I would have chosen differently. It was disappointing to see a man transitioned to a woman up on the big screen as hero of the game. I don’t hate transgender people but why do they have to be pushed to the forefront of everything, you’re not a hero for changing gender identity and I don’t want my kid thinking someone is a hero just because they changed gender identity.
