Best Answer

When the Hartford Whalers moved to Raleigh , because of time constraints, the name Hurricanes was chosen by owner Peter Karmanos himself. I understand he chose the name because of the violent nature of hurricanes reflected the violent nature of hockey and , of course, the Carolinas are battered by hurricanes each and every year.
