Seeking new sports correspondent!

CNNC is seeking a new sports correspondent! If you are a season ticket holder (and Canadian, of course) and are interested in reporting the results of the Hurricanes home games against all visiting Canadian teams (a few pics and a few words) during the 2018-19 season, please give us a shout! Use our CONTACT page to email us.

Many thanks to our retired sports correspondent for his years of great action pictures and game summaries.

 

 

CNNC Hockey Deal 2018-19!

CNNC and the Carolina Hurricanes have partnered up again this year to offer Canadians in The Triangle some discounted hockey tickets. 

 

The format has changed for this year based on a new approach to fill PNC Arena. CNNC will have discount prices for all the Canadian visiting teams plus other non Canadian games. The Hurricanes organization will only add the games into the CNNC Canes site  about two months in advance. Don’t worry! The site will eventually include the 8 games against Canadian teams listed below. As usual, you can purchase up to a total of 9 tickets directly through this site. Contact Brian Kapusta at 919-861-5452 for 10 tickets or more. 

To purchase tickets, visit www.canesgroups.com/cnnc

CNNC Poutine Project

Canadians across North Carolina, we need your help!  We are working to expand the resources available on our website… and we want to include a list of restaurants, food trucks and other places across the state that serve that great Canadian delicacy on their regular menu!

If there is such a place in your town, please send us an email with the name of the restaurant, its website and the town in which it is located. (You can use the email form in the Contact Us page.) Check under Eating Poutine in NC in the CNNC Resources tab to see if the place you’re thinking about has already been submitted.

On your mark. Get set. Poutine!
