A New Era for Hurricanes Hockey Broadcasts
The Carolina Hurricanes are set to debut their own regional sports network, which will serve as the exclusive television home for all of the team’s games in the upcoming season. Hurricanes Holdings will oversee every aspect of the channel, from production and distribution to sales and marketing, ensuring a seamless rollout across multiple platforms.
Fans will be able to watch the games through a variety of options, including traditional cable and satellite providers as well as streaming services, giving viewers flexibility in how they follow the action whether at home or on the go.
The broadcast team features play‑by‑play veteran Mike Maniscalco, who was recognized as North Carolina Sportscaster of the Year for 2025, alongside analyst Tripp Tracy, a 2024 NCMA Co‑Sportscaster of the Year. Their chemistry promises to bring deeper insight and excitement to every broadcast.
Early ratings underscore the network’s impact, with the 2026 Stanley Cup Final against the Vegas Golden Knights ranking as the fifth‑most‑watched Cup Final on record. TNT Sports’ coverage of the Eastern Conference Final against the Montreal Canadiens also set a new viewership high for that round.
Historic moments such as the Game 1 victory over Philadelphia in the second round have further cemented the network’s growing audience, highlighting the increasing appetite for Hurricanes hockey across the region.
