Noah Babin...
Babin is a defenseman who was draft eligible in 2002, but went undrafted at the time. He played 3 years for the University of Notre Dame and was signed by the Hurricanes to a 2 year contract last Spring, primarily because of the advice of Ron Francis. He played 11 games for the River Rats last year and scored 1 goal and had 6 assists. The defenseman played in a total of 104 games for Notre Dame and had 8 goals with 19 assists. He's listed at 6'0, 190 LBS and has a right handed shot. Babin is an interesting story in that he's one of just a very few home-grown Florida products close to making it in the NHL!
