Happy Summer, Kids Club!

Even though the Hurricanes’ playoff run is over, I hope you all enjoyed being a part of an exciting 2008-2009 hockey season. As members of the coolest club in the NHL, you all were great support for the team as they battled through the season and into the postseason. Thank you for being such great fans and Kids Club members.

Many of you have sent in your completed Kids Club surveys; I appreciate all of your feedback and suggestions for the 2009-2010 season. The deadline to send in your surveys is Monday, June 15. Following that date, I will be drawing five names from all of the responses that have been sent back, and those lucky winners will receive autographs from select Hurricanes players. The winners will be contacted by email and I will post them on the Kids Club website. Keep sending in your surveys for your chance to win!

Our final member of the month this year was also selected, and you will soon be able to read his member profile on the Kids Club website. Congratulations again to all eight of our Member of the Month winners this past season!

As the summer winds down and next hockey season picks up, be on the lookout on our website for registration information for the 2009-2010 Hurricanes Hockey Kids Club. We would love for you to join us again for new membership items, autographs, member highlights, and more.

Thank you again for a great season and we look forward to having you be a part of the Kids Club in the fall!

Happy Spring, Kids Club members! We hope you are out enjoying this nice weather in between the last few hockey games of the season.

Thank you to all of our members who came out to our fun-filled Kids Club autograph session on Sunday March 8th. It was a great day to be a Kids Club member, as the session was more than just autographs – it was a maze inside the RBC Center too! Members got to go through the Olympia entrance and touch the Olympia, walk across the RBC Center ice, sit on the Hurricanes bench, go into the penalty box, got player autographs in the visiting team locker room, and also autographs with Stormy. They were able to get their photo taken at each stop along the way! The maze ended with members entering to win one of six Hurricanes autographs. Congratulations to our winners!

10/28/08

There’s nothing like the feeling of the cool, crisp October air, specifically that of the air inside the RBC Center, not outside. You get chills from the second you step into the arena, from both the ice being down and knowing it is the start of hockey season, which is the best part of October (which is not, contrary to popular belief, the MLB post-season). And with the start of hockey season comes a great programs for the youngest of Caniacs – the Hurricanes Hockey Kids Club.

Your child’s eyes seem to grow big with excitement as they watch games at the RBC Center and their jaws drop when they see a player skate by – don’t you want them to feel that rush and joy of being a child whenever possible? Well even the youngest Caniacs are able to be a part of the Hurricanes in their own special way. The Hurricanes Hockey Kids Club, now in its second season, allows for children 12 and under to be in a club exclusively for kids who love the Hurricanes and can’t get enough hockey. Including special bobbleheads, t-shirts, lunch boxes, and discounts on game tickets, Kids Club members have their own members-only autograph session with players, where you can see their faces light up again, just like on game days.

Members can receive all of this for a membership fee of $30, and Season Ticket holders will receive a discounted membership fee of $20 for the first 500 participants as appreciation for their continued support. Registration has already begun, so sign up today and click here to see what members receive!

Let’s Go Canes!
