This season’s media day was one of new beginnings. It marks the first such gathering of the Tom Dundon era and the first with Rod Brind’Amour as the locker room leader. It’s a new era of Carolina Hurricanes hockey, and it was ushered in by new voices.
One of those new voices, Jordan Martinook, described the Canes as a very fast team who are tough to keep up with. “I was actually surprised to kind of see where they ended up last year,” said the former Arizona Coyotes forward.
The team’s most outspoken envoy, Justin Williams, echoed Martinook’s sentiment.
