On this episode of Blue Line Banter I am joined by Wade Minter, the Public Address Announcer for the NHL’s Carolina Hurricanes.  Our discussion covered Wade’s background growing up in Southside Virginia, his early experience as a PA announcer, how he got the opportunity with the Carolina Hurricanes, and the many ways in which he has given back to the community through his involvement with the Canes Foundation.  We then went into questions from Canes Twitter, some amazing stories including a behind the scenes look at his gameday routine, a memorable goal he scored during the Canes Alumni charity game, and many other hilarious stories straight from his office at PNC Arena – which is directly next to the visiting teams penalty box.  This was such a great talk and I hope you enjoy the stories and conversation that I was fortunate to have with Wade Minter.
