| "We often hear about and talk about "non-traditional" hockey markets. That phrase has been used many, many times about Raleigh. Well, here's a news flash: Raleigh is becoming a pretty good hockey city. Carolina did a terrific job hosting the All-Star Weekend. Fans were lined-up around the block to get into the Fan Fest at the city's new Convention Center. And, as usual, they were out early tailgating before both the Skills Competition and the All-Star Game. Congratulations, Raleigh. You were a great host." —E.J. Hradek, Senior Writer, ESPN |

Raleigh is our City of Championships, and I hope it always will be." —Charlie Adams, Former Executive Director, North Carolina High School Athletic Association |
