Television stations across North and South Carolina, led by WRAL in Raleigh, are once again partnering with the National Hockey League’s Carolina Hurricanes to bring fans two exciting Hockey for the Holidays broadcasts this season.
For the third consecutive year, these free, over-the-air broadcasts will deliver the electric atmosphere of Hurricanes hockey directly to homes across the Carolinas, expanding access for fans throughout the region.
The 2025 Hockey for the Holidays games will air:
Wednesday, Nov. 26 at 7 p.m. on WRAL (5.1) – New York Rangers vs. Carolina Hurricanes
Saturday, Dec. 27 at 7 p.m. on WRAL (5.1) – Detroit Red Wings vs. Carolina Hurricanes
“We’re proud to continue our partnership with the Carolina Hurricanes and bring this special holiday hockey tradition to viewers across the Carolinas,” said Heather Gray, VP & General Manager of WRAL and FOX50. “Our viewers are passionate about the Hurricanes, and these broadcasts are a great way to celebrate the season with family, friends, and exciting live sports right at home.”
“We’re thrilled to again partner with Capitol Broadcasting to allow fans to see our games over the air during the holiday season,” said Hurricanes Holdings CEO Brian Fork. “This initiative was extremely successful last year and we are grateful to FanDuel Sports Network for their cooperation in helping us simulcast these games on both Fan Duel and on WRAL.”
