Carolina Hurricanes class of 2011 is here

The Carolina Hurricanes began conditioning camp for its newest group of prospects on Sunday.

"I don't think any of us were expecting some of the Carolina fans here at a skate like this, but it was great. I'm sure some of the guys aren't even used to playing in front of a crowd like this, so it was a lot of fun." - Ryan Murphy - Carolina Hurricanes 2011 top draft pick
