NHL commissioner Gary Bettman will be in Raleigh, N.C., on Thursday to announce the 2010-11 NHL All-Star Game is being awarded to the Carolina Hurricanes, a source told ESPN.com.

The NHL issued a news release Wednesday saying Bettman would be joined for an announcement by Hurricanes owner Peter Karmanos, general manager Jim Rutherford and captain Eric Staal.

There was no All-Star Game this season because of the Vancouver Olympics.

Wow. That's a pretty big deal. Maybe we can get access to tickets and resell them on Ebay.

[Goosfraba21]

i want tickets

[The Other Colbert]

this is a huge deal! Gary Bettman promised the hurricanes organization a All-Star game, and its due time! This is HUGE for hockey here

Roadtrip!!!

[Goosfraba21]

I hope this motivates all the hurricanes players to come out strong next year and make the all-star game. This might be the motivation Staal needs to be great all the time at least for half a season.

Right now it seems the only way to guarantee tickets is to buy season tickets for next year

We should pull a Montreal and vote the starting lines of the Canes as the East.

Brindy needs to be an honorary member then he can retire and die peacefully.
