Sadly (to some and to the great elation of others), the Whale moved to NC and became YHCs beloved Carolina Hurricanes. The logo and identity lay dormant for years, and ownership was afraid to touch it. Gradually, under new owner Tom Dundon, they tried selling a couple of items and putting a couple of Whalers touches in games. The fans (ignoring salty New Englanders who were indigent&#8211;\u201d that logo belongs to US and the PEOPLE OF NEW HAMPSAHHH!\u201d) loved it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Now an annual Whalers night is a highlight in the schedule.
