Hurricanes BBQ

Not everyone wants to get up on a Sunday morning and go to a BBQ in 30 degree weather but if it involves hockey, chances are I want to.
Last year when we renewed our season tickets we were promised a BBQ with some Canes players.  Then the lockout happened and the Hurricanes organization thought "Let's have the BBQ in January". I think they should have waited until later in the season when it will be warmer and it could be outside but it was today and inside the PNC Arena.  We got there around 10am and Coach Kirk Muller answered questions and had some funny answers.  In post game interviews he seems a little stiff but today was relaxed and amusing. When asked if he thought the NHL referees were in mid-season form he replied "No" and everyone laughed.
Next we watched about an hour and a half practice with all of the Hurricanes and coaches.  After practice 6 players (E.Staal, J.Staal, Skinner, LaRose, Ward and Gleason) had a Q and A with pre-selected questions from the audience.  Some of the players were uncomfortable and awkward but it was a good time.
Unfortunately we didn't win any of the raffle prizes but then again we never do!
