Rob Brind’Amour celebrating winning the Stanley Cup with his teammates.
Rod Brind’Amour
Rod Brind’Amour is in his first year as head coach for the Carolina Hurricanes, after serving as an assistant coach for seven years. Brind’Amour officially retired as a player on June 30, 2010, following a career of more than 20 NHL seasons. He was named to the NHL’s All-Rookie Team in 1990, after scoring 61 points (26g, 35a) in 79 games for St. Louis, and played in the NHL All-Star Game while a member of the Flyers in 1992. Brind’Amour represented Canada in the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan, as well as the 1996 World Cup of Hockey, and won back-to-back Frank J. Selke trophies as the NHL’s top defensive forward in 2005-06 and 2006-07, as a member of the Hurricanes.
Rod and his Hurricanes teammates won the Stanley Cup in 2006. Brind’Amour ranks second in career points for the Hurricanes since the team’s relocation to North Carolina, notching 473 points in 694 games played. His league-leading 12 playoff goals during the team’s Stanley Cup run also set a franchise record.
Rod and his wife, Amy, live in Raleigh, with their children Brooks, Briley, Skyler and Reece.
Ryan Miller
Ryan Miller
Ryan is married to actress, Noureen DeWulf. They got married in 2010. Together they have a son, Bodhi and a French bulldog named Puck. Miller can be counted among the best goaltenders of his generation, and his play was never better than during the 2009-2010 NHL season. In that highlight-reel year, Miller accounted for all but four of the Buffalo Sabres’ goaltending wins, going 41-18-8 with a .929 save percentage and a 2.22 goals-against average.
Selected by the Sabres in the fifth round (No. 138) in the 1999 NHL Draft, Miller leapfrogged Martin Biron to become the Sabres’ undisputed No. 1 goaltender in 2005-2006 and never played fewer than 40 games a season in Buffalo after that. He left Buffalo as the franchise leader in games (540) and wins (284), had five seasons of 30 or more wins and twice had 40 or more. On Oct. 28, 2014, Miller became the 30th goaltender in NHL history to win 300 games when the Canucks defeated the Carolina Hurricanes 4-1.
