The Caniac Collectors Cards for Little Caniacs Initiative

Throughout this blog I have made it no secret that my end goal is to completely catalogue the entire Carolina Hurricanes History on cardboard. Through this little endeavor I have accumulated a surplus of cards. Well besides the Canes I have a passion for youth, so much in fact I am actively pursuing an Elementary Education Degree in my post military retirement phase of life. With that being said I am launching an initiative to give away a few cards to any Little Caniac who wants 1 or 2 of their favorite player. Fans local to the team are fortunate to have relatively easy access to their favorite Canes players for autographs, so these would be perfect for a young fan to get signed or put up in there room.
So starting tonight at the Canes Draft Party at the Raleigh Beer Garden I will be carrying this box with me with cards of the team to pass out. Simply follow me on Twitter or Instagram @FaulkemintheAho and I will meet with you and your child and will let the your kid pick 1 or 2 cards of his favorite Cane for his keeping. This offer is for Children only and I would request their parent be with them it will be an awesome way to meet my fellow Caniacs and there kids.
Thanks for reading and as always Redvolution

    Have you ever seen a Hurricanes cardboard standup? We recently had a fire and lost ours in it. We got it almost 8 years ago and I can’t find any online.

Eric Staal is the most Underappreciated Hurricane of All Time

  Eric Staal 2014-2015 Upper Deck Premier Rink of Honor     In case you did not hear already, Carolina Hurricanes Legend Eric Staal has been named the Captain of The Canadian Men's Olympic Hockey team. I tell you that to tell you this, beyond being a Justin Faulk Collector I also collect Eric Staal. The Former 2nd Overall Pick (2002), Stanley Cup Champ, the arguably legitimate Conn Smythe Winner with 28 points in 25 Games, and former Hurricanes Captain has managed to etch out a borderline Hall of Fame Career.   However, even with all that listed I would argue that Eric Staal remains the most underrated and underappreciated Carolina Hurricane of all time.  Why? Eric Staal's captaincy happened in the midst of turmoil. Having it given to him with the stripping of perennial favorite and current Canes Bench Boss Rod Brindamour's Captaincy in the middle of the 2010 season. Staal's entire tenure as captain was mired in a long and miserable playoff drought and a revolving door

Commodore signed with Carolina in 2005 after bouncing between the New Jersey Devils and Lowell Lock Monsters (AHL) the previous 2 seasons A staple on the blue-line during the  Stanley Cup Championship of 2006, Commodore was a hard nosed stay at home defenseman Commodore was second amongst defenseman in points with during the magical season that was 2006.

It's Cardboard Therapy!

     Dont thank me for my service! I did not join for gratitude! I was a 23 year old single dad who had ran out of options to support his son. I needed an escape from a bad situation and the United States Navy provided it for me. Now 12 years later I along with many other veterans battle the long term effects of what at time can be crippling Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).In my daily profession it was implied that I should not write about or discuss my PTSD because it could make people uneasy and uncomfortable around me! While my internal response  was "You think it's uncomfortable hearing about it?" "Well try fucking living with it every day!" Nevertheless I heeded the warning and stop sharing my experiences via social media. However, this is my blog and my rules!  I will be the first to admit I never saw combat, yet a three year period of living in constant vigilance broke my psyche beyond repair.Being seperated from my family for 503 out of a po
