Q & A with a member of the Carolina Hurricanes Storm Squad

Lauren from your Hurricanes Storm Squad was nice enough to do a little Q & A for us.

When I covered the idea of what it takes to be a cheerleader in the NHL and whether or not it has a place in hockey, many readers commented on the site or emailed me with a range of opinions on this subject.  Not surprisingly some were positive and others felt it was a needless distraction.

Luckily, we here at Illegalcurve are happy to have Lauren from the Carolina Hurricanes Storm Squad sit down and answer some questions for us and give us her inside look into what it takes to be a member of the cheerleading fraternity in the NHL.  And lest you think this knockout is just good looks, be aware that she can crush you with her brain (she is currently doing a joint law/mba degree).

I think it’s funny that all of the more " Traditional " hockey markets laughed at us for having cheerleaders, and now 70% of teams have them.

Satan is just a coping mechanism for monotheists.
