A Storm In Carolina

Long before the Carolina Hurricanes raised the Stanley Cup, professional hockey was fighting to survive in North Carolina.

For nearly seventy years, the sounds of skates cutting across ice and sticks echoing through arenas have been part of North Carolina's sports history.

From the early days of the Charlotte Rebels in 1955 to the rise of the Stanley Cup champion Carolina Hurricanes, generations of teams, players, coaches, and fans helped shape a hockey legacy many outside the state never realized existed.

A Storm in Carolina is the first comprehensive historical reference dedicated entirely to professional hockey in North Carolina. Award-winning author Jeb Bohn chronicles the teams, leagues, triumphs, struggles, and forgotten chapters that built hockey across the Tar Heel State.
