Every NHL team has its own unique fanbase with their own traditions. Here, we’ll go over loyal fans, fun team traditions and everything that makes a team’s fans who they are.
Some fans are more loyal than others and some have more traditions. Therefore, this list will cover the most dedicated of fans, traditions and all.
Now, a countdown of all NHL teams to find the most dedicated fanbase.
30. Carolina Hurricanes
The Carolina Hurricanes carry along a fun fanbase. Carolina fans love a good tailgate before their hockey games and, who knows, maybe they listen to ‘Rock You Like a Hurricane’ before they enter the arena.
The Hurricanes have great fans but what lands them in last is their lack of game attendance. Carolina placed last in the league last season (2015-16) in terms of attendance and currently hold the same place this season.
On average, Carolina brings around 11,000 fans into the arena at an average of 58%. Despite hard attempts at playoff runs and bringing home the Stanley Cup in 2006, fans have not stood by their team long enough in terms of attendance.
Carolina fans love their team but don’t share the same blind love and dedication that other fanbases have.
