Roy Cooper has been this state's chief executive for six years. He's been a Caniac for much longer. Last week, I watched a game with him to find out what he and his fandom are all about.
I can only hope that some of the Gov's Caniac-itis rubs off on you, Jeremy. That come-from-behind you experienced was only the third time since 1970 a team has won after having an empty-netter scored against them in the last two minutes.
Hockey will absolutely ruin you for other sports...the speed, the intensity...and our Canes and the Caniac Nation are the leading example of how a team feeds off its home crowd. PNC Arena is "The Loudest House in the NHL" for a reason!
I love the Canes! I don't have cable so I can't watch them as much as I'd like, though. And I still play hockey (I told the governor about my rec league team in Winston-Salem).
Love this article. It's great to see the human side of politicians. Cooper is on the radar of the national Democratic party. Although boring, I think he'll run for a higher office one day.
I could also see him in a cabinet position of some sort. Lack of charisma wouldn't matter so much there. He's awfully diplomatic. Maybe Secretary of State?
Agreed--great article. Makes this never-been-to-a-Hurricanes-game NC Rabbit Hole subscriber eager to go to one, soon.
ln appreciation and admiration of the great articles that we regularly enjoy from Rabbit Hole, let's agree that there'll be no penalty box time for Jeremy for moving Graig Meyer (of Hillsborough) to Durham. We plan to keep Graig in the Senate representing Caswell, Orange, and Person counties (23rd district).

GO CANES!

Bally Sports + now carries them as part of their streaming package...and cool that you play in a beer, uh, rec league. Forward or D-man?
Glad to see Tripp Tracy continue to do well. Fun article!
At one point Tripp called Roy Cooper "baby," on the broadcast.

Ah, thanks. It was very late when I finished this and I didn't mean to make Graig move.
Great article!
