Carolina Hurricanes Save Christmas

This is a great story out of North Carolina.

I'll sum it up.

A military family has all of their gifts stolen (in addition to lots of other things in the house) before the husband re-deploys to Afghanistan. A local news organization does a story when Aaron Ward (retired Hurricane) saw it.

He called upon his fellow Carolina Alum and they visited the family with the Carolina mascot and others to bring everything they could to replace the missing gifts. Others from around the state also donated.

And the family really aren't hockey fans (though I think that might change). They didn't know who Aaron Ward was when he called them, mistaking him for current tender Cam Ward.

Great story.
