""If you go to Raleigh, you'll see the fans," he said. I figured he was right. That's where the team plays. Plus, my buddy that didn't expect me to find any fans told me that if I found hockey fans, "they'll probably say, 'Go Canes,' in the same voice they say, 'Go Pack!'" "

"I guarantee if North Carolina was playing basketball against the Duke School for Children, the game would have been on every screen and almost every eye would have been glued to the action."

"But the elder Duval insisted there was interest in hockey in the area, spawned by proselytizing carpetbaggers and cultivated by the Canes' success. Conner, 13, said the kids at his school, Sherwood Githens Middle School in Durham, enjoyed hockey and many of them play on youth league teams. "Well, the white ones," Conner clarified. In the last couple of months, you've probably heard that Durham has a lot of black people. And as you might expect, hockey's not really their bag."

this is the only funny/true thing in the article. you cant expect to drive around to sport's bars in durham in the middle of the day and find a lot of people watching hockey.

Yea, its really easy to skew an article like that, but still have it be totally true in the realm in which the author presents it.

lol on the espn nhl front page

Game 7. It's what makes the playoffs great. And as Buffalo and Carolina duke it out

6/1/2006 5:36:45 PM

come to Cary

the Fox and Hound on Kildaire has been full for every away Canes game.

Who the fuck would gauge local interest in a hockey game when its @ home? If you don't have tickets you stay at home to watch.
