In 1997, the National Hockey League brought the Carolina Hurricanes and hockey to North Carolina. Upon the arrival of the team, the Carolina Hurricanes Booster Club (CHBC) was formed. The CHBC is the official NHL booster club of the Carolina Hurricanes. Our goal is to support the Carolina Hurricanes Hockey organization, and promote hockey throughout the Carolinas. These goals are reached by volunteering and assisting the organization as needed, raising funds for non-profit charities, helping local youth hockey programs with sponsorships, and promoting the sport of hockey throughtout the community.
