Rod Brind'Amour | Carolina Hurricanes Head Coach

In this special episode of the Iced Tea podcast, Meghan talks with the one and only Rod Brind'Amour! The Carolina Hurricanes head coach reflects on his journey from a young player in the 1990s to a Stanley Cup-winning captain and coach. He shares why he never expected coaching to become part of his life, how family sacrifice shaped his career, and the preparation and discipline that guided him from childhood through the NHL. Rod talks about the Hurricanes’ legendary 2026 run, the inspiration behind the “blue collar press,” the championship parade and what it meant to bring the Stanley Cup back home to Raleigh. Caniacs, this episode is a must-listen! (If you'd rather watch this one on YouTube, check it out at https://youtu.be/agUWncF4Sps.)
