Amy Daniels | Carolina Hurricanes Foundation Executive Director

On this episode of Iced Tea, we sit down with Amy Daniels, Executive Director of the Carolina Hurricanes Foundation, to learn what really happens behind the scenes at Canes games and in the broader community. From the frozen pucks you grab at warmups to the high-energy 50/50 raffles and the glamorous Cane’s Gala, Amy Daniels reveals how each moment connects fans to purpose, giving back to kids’ health, education, and the growth of hockey across North Carolina. Iced Tea is a production of MIX 101.5, a part of the Capitol Broadcasting Podcast Network. The show is presented by Lane and Associates Family Dentistry. #CarolinaHurricanes #CanesFoundation #AmyDaniels #HockeyCommunity #YouthHockey #NHL #Fundraising #Caniacs #HockeyLife #Charity #CommunityImpact #IcedTeaPodcast 00:00 Carolina Hurricanes foundation mission 03:04 Running concessions during games 08:12 Fundraising for Hurricane Helene relief efforts 09:16 Starting a community support network 13:26 Ticket sales and raffle prizes 16:16 Behind the scenes at Lenovo center 21:59 Watching the game from the ice 23:38 Winner files paperwork and takes photo 27:18 Talking about youth hockey growth 30:30 Street hockey accessibility and promotion 35:05 Navigating raffle logistics 38:05 Becoming a Hurricanes fan 40:16 Using sports to help community
