Introducing the Canes Country Calendar: Where's Bubba?


Cccalendar_medium

So what are you doing today? Perhaps you're headed over to watch the unofficial skates AKA Camp Brind`Amour at the RecZone at 10am? Or maybe, if you're name is Bob Wage, today you're playing in the invitation-only Hurricanes Annual Media Golf Tournament at 9:30am followed by a luncheon up at TPC Wakefield Plantation, rubbing shoulders with  [Tim Gleason, Chad LaRose, Erik Cole? I'll let you know when I hear who he's with]  veteran winger and all around great guy Tom Kostopoulos, the Hall-of-Fame-voice-of-your-Carolina-Hurricanes Chuck Kaiton, and the hockey persona that is as Old School as Old School gets, Assistant Coach Tom Rowe. You'll be tooling around the fairway in your nifty golf car, casually discussing....well...anything your puck-lovin' heart desires. All I can say is: Must. Be. Nice.

With so much happening in hockey everyday [finally!], it's hard for a Carolina hockey fan to know where to begin planning. Until now. 

As part of this new season here at Canes Country, we've set up the Canes Country Calendar which we hope will be your one-stop source for all goings-on within the Caniac Nation.

Check it out after the jump, and then after today, you'll be able to find it anytime over on the left rail, by the salary charts, below the twitter and facebook links.

(Hint: If it doesn't show - you may need to "refresh" the page.)

Now you know where to come when you need to answer the burning question: #IsitOctoberyet?

We'll aim to keep our Calendar up to date with all things Hurricanes. Not just Canes games, but also the Charlotte Checkers game schedule, the practices in Raleigh, the "Official Hurricanes" fan events or promotions, Canes Country viewing parties or other meet-ups. In summary, anything that seems pertinent to a dedicated and totally connected Carolina hockey fan, who we might consider as a collective "Bubba". Starting with the Media Golf Tourney going on right now, Camp Brindy for another week, and the tournament schedule for the Canes prospects at Traverse City,  kicking off this Saturday at 3pm.

You can navigate through the NHL season by clicking on the months across the top, and many of the events have pop-ups or links that get you to more details of the event. You'll also note that those Checkers games are made distinguishable by a gray field. Take a spin around, and if you have any suggestions or technical problems, let us know. We're venturing into new territory with this, so feedback is appreciated.

Feel free to email me (using the link next to my name at the bottom of the page) anytime if you have an event you think we need to add in. And kudos to Phoblographer LTD for this awesome idea and big thanks to Cory for whipping up the logo.

Thank you thank you thank you!

And where do you have the bug hidden in my office. Now an hour ago I was saying to RF “HMof2 needs to do another C&C with dates on Canes happenings!”

The calendar looks great and will be a very useful tool.

Congrats to Bob playing golf with the Canes. Enjoy yourself!

Interesting Article about Corvo and Babchuk, etc. at ESPN NHL

http://tinyurl.com/23nhjxe

  Corvo makes this statement:

“Really, the whole Washington situation was such a short period of time where it almost feels like I was never there,” he added. “Easy room [in Carolina], easy guys to get along with. It should make for a better start of the season.”

  I like Corvo and appreciate the fact he was not trying to squeeze out the last possible dollar and instead put value on playing on the Hurricanes.

HM2- can you set up a meetup link for all caniacs throughout the state

where to meetup to see games with fellow fans in cities like
asheville , greensboro , wilson, columbia?

Sounds like that would be a really good idea. Though I suppose I need to clarify what you have in mind…Do you mean that there could be post available all the time, for out-of-Wake fans to access and plan before a game? Or to have a post set up now that people can find out who’s out there and where you would agree should be the official meet up place for future games during the season?

Can you do both?

i travel around NC SC VA working so it would be nice to have a link here where i can “meetup” with other fans wherever i am.

this is probably good idea for all our road games since Cool Bars is once or twice a month

Outside Wake Co. fans who come here to read can get together,

this season were gonna need all the moral support we can get.

Is the calendar supposed to be showing on the left panel yet? I’m not seeing it. Maybe it’s a chrome issue.

Hmmm… I’ve been reading the thread and haven’t even looked over there. Not there for me either. Mac/Safari.
