In March 1997, Hartford Whalers owner Peter Karmanos announced that his team would leave Connecticut after the 1996-97 season due to the team's inability to negotiate a satisfactory construction and lease package for a new arena in Hartford. In July, Karmanos announced that the Whalers would move to the Research Triangle area of North Carolina and Raleigh's new Entertainment and Sports Arena, become the Carolina Hurricanes, and change their team colors to red and black.
Unfortunately, the ESA wouldn't be complete for two more years, and the only other hockey building in the Triangle was Dorton Arena, a 5,100-seat, 45-year-old building completely unsuitable for NHL hockey. Thus, the Hurricanes were forced to play home games ninety minutes away at the Greensboro Coliseum in Greensboro for their first two seasons in North Carolina, displacing the AHL's Carolina Monarchs and temporarily putting them in the highest-capacity arena in the NHL for 1997-98. Due to the distance from the nominal home city of Raleigh, the initially lackluster level of play, and general disinterest in Greensboro (whose fans had already rebelled once over ticket price hikes when the Monarchs moved from the ECHL to the AHL in 1995), the Hurricanes pulled in fewer fans than they did in Hartford. Attendance numbers were inflated due to "2 for 1" deals where seats sold were counted, despite no fans in them. Sports Illustrated ran a story named "Natural Disaster", and ESPN talking heads mocked the "Green Acres" of empty seats in Greensboro.

Hurricanes Hockey All Star Game Tickets
For 1998-99, in an attempt to create artificial scarcity in the ticket market, the Hurricanes curtained off most of the upper deck, lowering capacity to about 12,000, but attendance continued to lag behind league standards. On the ice, the 'Canes were out of the doldrums; led by the return of longtime Whalers captain Ron Francis, Keith Primeau's 30 goals and Gary Roberts's 178 penalty minutes, they won the new Southeast Division by eight points and made the playoffs for the first time since 1992. Tragedy struck when, at the end of their lost first-round playoff series with the Boston Bruins, defenseman Steve Chiasson was killed in an auto accident driving home from a players' end-of-season party.

Carolina Hurricanes All Star Game Tickets
Despite their move to the brand-new ESA, the Canes played lackluster hockey in 1999-00, failing to make the playoffs. In 2000-01, they claimed an eighth seed in the playoffs and landed a first-round date with New Jersey. Carolina fans were outraged when, in consecutive games, Devils defenseman Scott Stevens knocked Shane Willis and Ron Francis out of the series with borderline dirty hits; Stevens's team similarly disposed of the Canes in six games.

The Canes made national waves for the first time in the 2002 playoffs. They survived a late charge from the Washington Capitals to win the division, but expectations were low entering the first round against the defending Eastern Conference Champion New Jersey Devils. Arturs Irbe and Kevin Weekes were solid in goal, and two games were won by the Canes in overtime as they put away the Devils in six games. The second round matchup was against the Canadiens, who were riding a wave of emotion after Saku Koivu's return from cancer treatment. In the third period of game 4 in Montreal, the Hurricanes were down 2-1 in games and 3-0 in score, before the Hurricanes rebounded to win 4-3 on Niclas Wallin's overtime winner. The game became known to Hurricanes fans as the 'Miracle at Molson'; Carolina easily won the next two games over the dejected Habs to win the series.

The conference final was against the heavily-favored Toronto Maple Leafs. In game 6 in Toronto, the Leafs' Mats Sundin tied the game with 22 seconds remaining to send it to overtime, but Carolina's Martin Gélinas scored in overtime to send them to their first Stanley Cup final, against the Detroit Red Wings, thought to be the prohibitive favorite all year.

After the first game of the final, where Ron Francis scored in the first minute of overtime, Detroit stormed back to win the next four games in a row to win the Stanley Cup. Game 3 in Raleigh featured a triple-overtime thriller (won by the Red Wings 3-2 on a goal by Igor Larionov), which sportscasters called one of the best Stanley Cup Finals games in history. Despite the 4-1 finals loss, it was by far the most successful season in franchise history.

Carolina Hurricanes Hockey Playoffs Tickets
The next two seasons (2002-03 and 2003-04 seasons)saw the Canes drop into the cellar of the NHL rankings; the new fans attracted to the team (and to hockey itself) during the 2002 playoff run lost interest and attendance declined. One of the few positive results of these losing years was the team's drafting rising star Eric Staal in the 2003 NHL Entry Draft.

Carolina Hurricanes tickets
The outcome of the 2004-05 NHL lockout led to the shrinking of payroll to $26 million; many fans were not optimistic about the 2005-06 season, but the team has so far been one of the league's best. The team currently sits in second place in the entire league, surprising everyone with a remarkable 51-21-6 overall record (108 points) through April 10; attendance has increased over the 2003-04 doldrums, averaging over 15,000 per game with eight sellouts[1] as of February 7, and the team expects to break even financially for the first time since the move. On March 14, 2006, the Hurricanes broke a franchise record in wins, home wins, and points [2], marks that were set during the 1986-87 NHL season as the Hartford Whalers. On March 31, 2006, the Hurricanes won their third Southeast Division championship by defeating the Florida Panthers 3-2.
