Carolina Hurricanes hosting Pride Night for game against Florida Panthers

RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- The Carolina Hurricanes will be hosting their Pride Night when they take on the Florida Panthers tonight.

The team will also be releasing special jersey available for purchase at noon.

They are designed by a Durham artist, who says they celebrate queerness.

Players won't be able to wear the sweaters on the ice, but proceeds from the sales of the jersey will be donated to a local charity.

Tonight's game is at 7 p.m.

The Hurricanes have won eight of their last ten games.

The team is six points behind the New York Rangers for first place in the Metropolitan Division.
