This Underdog image was made by my 11-yr-old son to put on the jerseys of the Roaddawg tournament he and his friends played in one year ("The Underdawgs"). Having watched the way the 'Canes were underestimated and given no credit throughout the '09 playoffs for weeks on end, I thought it seemed an apt avatar for blogging here.
I'm a bona fide hockeymom, living in Chapel Hill with 2 sons and my 5 yr old daughter. The boys will play on the Squirt and Peewee House teams for Hillsborough for the 09-10 season. I am delighted to serve as a team manager every year.
My boys have played at intermission as Mighty Mites at a 'Canes games, and my older boy was once a "Starter ot the game", standing next to Ruutu while KK sang the Anthem. He also attended Canes camp where Ron Francis coached his team for the final game, with John Forslund doing the play-by-play. I think the accessibility of the Canes players within the community is one of things that has made me such a dedicated Caniac.
