Whalers Night features ‘Brass Bonanza,’ Pucky and those great uniforms

The Carolina Hurricanes dipped into their past for a game on Sunday against the Boston Bruins, donning the classic uniforms of the Hartford Whalers.

The Hurricanes franchise was known as the Whalers until 1997.

The reason for the celebration was simple, according to Hurricanes owner Tom Dundon.

After the 5-3 win, the players, who have found unique ways to celebrate all year, went with what sort of looked like whales out of water in celebration.
