2 IT s TIME TO DOMINATE

3 Dear Hurricanes Fans: Thank you for your tremendous support so far this season. The Hurricanes are well on pace to break our franchise s average attendance record, and our coaches and players truly appreciate the atmosphere our fans provide for home games. Though our team has faced some adversity this season with injuries, we feel confident that we have a roster capable of a deep run in this year s playoffs. Equally important, the Hurricanes are now positioned to remain competitive for years to come, with core players including Eric Staal, Jordan Staal, Jeff Skinner, Cam Ward, Tuomo Ruutu and Tim Gleason signed to long-term contracts. Another player who has really stood out again this season is Justin Faulk. Justin has played a major role in helping our team battle through the injuries to our blue line, eating minutes and playing at a high level for any defenseman, let alone one who has not yet turned 21. I continue to be impressed with how Kirk Muller has handled this team. As a player, Kirk was an All-Star six times and a Stanley Cup winner for Montreal, and it is clear that his experience helps him to get the most out of his top players. Kirk s three assistant coaches Rod Brind Amour, John MacLean and Dave Lewis all had tremendous playing careers and also have their names on the Stanley Cup. Former NHL netminder Greg Stefan is back in his role as goaltending coach, the same role he held when Cam Ward won the Conn Smythe Trophy and the Hurricanes won the Stanley Cup in Our players know that those coaches have been in their skates, and understand what it takes to be successful. As we look to the 2013 Stanley Cup playoffs and the season, we plan to continue providing our season ticket holders with excellent value and benefits. Even with the addition of several high-end players to our roster, our pricing remains in the lowest quarter of the NHL. In addition, we continue to offer the popular benefits season ticket holders enjoy including the voucher program, the ticket exchange program, and food and beverage credit, bonuses offered by few other teams in our league. With the host of great young talent we have in place for the foreseeable future, this is as an exciting time for our team as ever before, and we appreciate your interest in being a part of it. Again, thank you for your support for the Carolina Hurricanes. Jim Rutherford President and General Manager

The Carolina Hurricanes would like to thank you for your support and for renewing your commitment with the team. It s time to believe, it s time for passion, and it s time to bring The Cup back.
