Below you will find audio files intended to help you properly pronounce Hurricanes players’ names. In each recording, you will hear both the player and a member of the Canes’ PR staff pronounce the player’s name. Some players choose to “Americanize” their names, while others do not, but regardless, you hear a pronunciation deemed acceptable by each player.
