PR - Hurricanes

HURRICANES ON A 10 GAME WINNING STREAK

The Calgary Hurricanes have surged from last place in the standings to 5th overall in the conference. They trail 2nd place Clubbers by only 5 points.

"We seem to have found our game again. It is a lot of fun to be around this team right now and I can't tell you how exciting it is." Said Markus Naslund.

Much of the Hurricanes success has been the exceptional play of goaltender Brian Boucher. Boucher is currently 25-9-2, which is second best to only J.S. Giguere who only has one more win and 4 more loses than Boucher. "I am playing with a lot of confidence. I have some strong defensemen in front of me like McCabe, Pronger and Campbell. We have a really
solid backend now." Said the 'Canes goaltender.

The Hurricanes are also looking to chase down a 7 season old record produced by then Zombies. The longest winning streak in TFHL history is 14 games, and the Hurricanes are only 4 games away from tying that record. "Don't say that, you just jinxed it." Said goalie Boucher.
