                               RESOLUTION

   Congratulating the 2025-2026 Carolina Hurricanes for winning the
                              Stanley Cup.

Whereas the Carolina Hurricanes dominated their rivals throughout the 2026
        Stanley Cup playoffs, finishing the playoffs with a postseason record of
        16-3;
Whereas, on June 14, 2026, the Carolina Hurricanes defeated the Vegas Golden
        Knights in the Golden Knights's home arena in game 6 of the Stanley Cup
        Final, winning the series 4-2;
Whereas, with this victory, the Carolina Hurricanes won their second ever
        Stanley Cup, coming 20 years after their first Stanley Cup;
Whereas the team was led by legendary Head Coach Rod Brind'Amour, who, 20 years
        ago, was captain of the team during their first Stanley Cup run;
Whereas Captain Jordan Staal scored 6 goals in the Stanley Cup Finals, including
        at least 1 goal in each of the first 5 games of the series, and was
        awarded the Conn Smythe Trophy as the most valuable player of the
        Stanley Cup Playoffs;
Whereas this winning season was also made possible by General Manager Eric
        Tulsky and every member of the Carolina Hurricanes organization;
Whereas there have been reports of ``Storm Surge'' across the Carolinas since
        game 6 as the ``Caniacs'' celebrate their hard-earned victory; and
Whereas the Carolina Hurricanes are active in their community through programs
        supporting children and families, military servicemembers, and public
        safety personnel across North Carolina: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate congratulates the 2026 Stanley Cup
champions, the Carolina Hurricanes.
