Hurricanes to retire Brind'Amour's number
Hockey Betting Lines
07/15/2010 -
Raleigh, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Rod Brind'Amour will have his No. 17 jersey
retired by the Carolina Hurricanes prior to a February 18, 2011 contest
against the Philadelphia flyers.
Brind'Amour announced his retirement after a 20-plus-year NHL career last
month. He had one year left on the five-year contract he signed in 2006 after
captaining Carolina to the franchise's only Stanley Cup title.
"There is no image of our franchise more memorable than that of Rod
Brind'Amour, our captain, hoisting the Stanley Cup above his head, the
emotions from a lifetime of hard work and dedication pouring out of him," said
Hurricanes general manager Jim Rutherford. "There is no doubt that Rod's
number belongs in the rafters of the RBC Center, and February 18 will surely
be a very special night for our fans and everyone connected with the
Hurricanes organization."
Brind'Amour was dealt to Carolina from Philadelphia on January 23, 2000 in a
trade that sent forward Keith Primeau to the Flyers. He registered 174 goals
and 299 assists in 694 games with the Hurricanes.
Originally drafted ninth overall by St. Louis in the 1988 draft, Brind'Amour
registered 452 goals and 732 assists in 1,484 career games. He added 51 goals
and 111 points in 159 playoff contests.
Once one of the most talented two-way players, Brind'Amour captured back-to-
back Frank J. Selke Trophies as the NHL's top defensive forward in 2005-06 and
2006-07.
Though best known as a Hurricane, Brind'Amour's single-season personal bests
in goals, assists, points, plus-minus and penalty minutes all came during his
tenure with Philadelphia (1991-2000). In addition, his lone All-Star selection
occurred in 1992, his first year with the Flyers.
