Hello from Portland!

Well, that was quite the bus ride!

We left Lethbridge last night around 8pm and 14 hours later, we arrived in beautiful Portland, Oregon. Not a drop of snow and the temperature is around 10 degrees. We arrived at the Coliseum where tomorrow's game will be played. The Hurricanes will practice there this afternoon before heading out for a team meal tonight.

I can tell you there's an added excitement amongst this team with the return of Luca Sbisa. He arrives here in Portland tonight and will wear his old number 5 when he suits up for the Canes' tomorrow. It should be fun to watch given the return as well of Kyle Beach and Dwight King from injury. Carter Bancks will miss tomorrow's game as he's attending his grandmother's funeral. He should be back for the weekend when the Canes' play in Seattle Friday night.

That's all for now. I'll be back tomorrow to set up the game between the Hurricanes and Winterhawks!
