2. New Coach

Rod Brind’Amour took over as the head coach of the Carolina Hurricanes last summer after Bill Peters opted out of his deal and went to the Calgary Flames. With an Eastern Conference Final appearance in his first year, the future looks to be very bright for the team.

Brind’Amour has proven himself as a successful coach so far after proving himself as a successful player. Without his coaching, the Hurricanes wouldn’t have gotten as far as he did. Brind’Amour was a part of the culture change Carolina went through last summer.

He was the Hurricanes captain when they won their first ever Stanley Cup in the 2005-2006 season. His leadership and role modeling for other players has shaped the foundation of the Hurricanes for many seasons. Now Brind’Amour has the opportunity to continue to do so as a coach.

Many players look up to Brind’Amour and he has already shown through coaching and season results that the goal for the Hurricanes is to hoist another Stanley Cup in the near future. This kind of leadership is exactly what the Canes need in order to be a successful team for many seasons.
