Asked where this day ranked for him professionally, Brind’Amour said, “Yeah, well, this award really just feels to me like such an organizational award because it just is.
Brind’Amour is 120-66-20 in three seasons as Hurricanes coach, and Carolina has reached the Stanley Cup Playoffs each season.
The respect he has, as players, we truly appreciate, and obviously you want to go out there and play hard for a coach who respects you.
And then just in general, as a person, he’s a guy I look up to in all aspects of life and the way he carries himself, the way he treats people.
“It’s an honor to even be considered, even this year,” Brind’Amour said.
