Matt Cosman is a Sheridan College print journalism graduate from Oakville, Ontario. After a brief stint with The Hockey News, I'm excited to keep moving forward with The Hockey Writers covering the Carolina Hurricanes, one of my favourite childhood teams. When I'm not in my hockey bubble you can probably catch me jamming out on the piano or losing money at the poker tables.

Hurricanes' Chemistry & Friendship Driving Their Success
November 28th, 2019 You don’t need to be an avid Carolina Hurricanes watcher to see how much fun the team is having.

Carolina Hurricanes' October: More Tricks or Treats?
November 1st, 2019 Historically, October has not been a kind month to the Carolina Hurricanes. Since the 2009-10 season, only once have the Hurricanes posted an October record above .500.

3 Red Flags to the Carolina Hurricanes' Hot Start
October 18th, 2019 There hasn’t been much to complain about lately for the Carolina Hurricanes. They’re 6-2-0, tied for second place in the NHL, and their team seems to be clicking on and off the ice. The 2019-20 season is still in its infancy, but the Hurricanes are currently on a 123-point pace. While that’s probably not sustainable, they do have...
