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 ten 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.

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.

Sitting with the rowdies in the upper deck so made it interesting, still could see the rink ok.
Our first trip to Raleigh and we were treated to some great hockey. We have been in many NHL Arenas and the Hurricanes Fans are by far the loudest. The RBC Center is a great venue and most big market teams could take a lesson from the Carolina Hurricanes! Loads of parking on site...quick in and out too! Game action was great and Devils played well to secure the victory. We'll be back, Canes!
This was our first trip to Raleigh. The RBC Center was packed! Who knew hockey was going to be this big in North Carolina! This team has great fan support and the venue is terrific. Easy to get to and lots of on site parking. Getting in and out is very organized and quick. The pre-game ceremony for Rod Brind'amour was touching and well done. This all followed by a great Hockey Game. Well done Hurricanes! We'll be back.
Ward was awesome, too bad the rest of the team didn't show up. The pens brought game and that is why they won the cup. The game was boring for a playoff game but the energy at the RBC centre was unreal. The tailgate party was wicked. The fans were shown a good time. The facility was very impresive, staff friendly and the organization terrific. Our kids had a great time. Worth the 12 hour drive from Toronto to see Sid the Kid in action.
