In 2006, Brind’Amour played for the Carolina Hurricanes and captained the team that won the Hurricanes’ first Stanley Cup.
Now Brind’Amour is the coach of that very same team. And after years of “almosts,” Brind’Amour directed the Hurricanes to their second Stanley Cup win in June. Imagine if Luke Kuechly’s Carolina Panthers had won that Super Bowl in 2015 and then Kuechly became the team’s head coach and won another Super Bowl — that’s what this was like.
In our interview, conducted at the Hurricanes’ practice arena, Brind’Amour, 56, told stories about quitting hockey as a kid and why he believes it was more satisfying to win the Stanley Cup as a coach in 2026 than it was as a player in 2006.
