Raleigh, N.C. — The Carolina Hurricanes will issue announcements "in the near future," that explain the organization's plans to support the immediate and long-term needs of those affected by Hurricane Florence, the NHL team said Friday in a statement.
“We are heartbroken watching the scenes of destruction caused by Hurricane Florence," said General Manager and President Don Waddell in the statement. "As an organization, the Hurricanes have always felt a special responsibility to assist those affected by devastation from tropical storms, from Katrina and Sandy to Harvey and Matthew. As Florence passes, we will activate our resources to identify areas where we can best help to assist our neighbors in getting back on their feet and rebuilding.
In the meantime, we are keeping our friends in Wilmington, New Bern and all areas in Florence’s path in our thoughts and prayers.”
The Carolina Hurricanes moved their first practice up a day because of the storm Thursday.
