The
National Hockey League All-Star Game is a mid-season
exhibition game held annually between many of the top players of each season. Thirty-three All-Star Games have been held since the
Carolina Hurricanes entered the NHL as the
Hartford Whalers in 1979, with at least one player chosen to represent the franchise in each year except 1998, 2004 and 2012. The All-Star game has not been held in various years: 1979 and 1987 due to the
1979 Challenge Cup and
Rendez-vous '87 series between the NHL and the
Soviet national team, respectively, 1995, 2005, and 2013 as a result of labor stoppages, 2006, 2010, and 2014 because of the
Winter Olympic Games, and 2021 as a result of the
COVID-19 pandemic.[29] The franchise has hosted two of the games. Hartford hosted the
38th at the
XL Center, then known as the Hartford Civic Center, and Carolina hosted the
58th at
PNC Arena, then known as the RBC Center.

The
Carolina Hurricanes have
retired three of their jersey numbers and taken two other numbers out of circulation. Prior to the franchise's move to Carolina, the
Hartford Whalers retired
Rick Ley's number 2,
Gordie Howe's number 9, and
John McKenzie's number 19. Numbers 2 and 19 were returned to circulation when the franchise moved to Carolina, but the number 9 remains unofficially retired for Howe. The number 3 was removed from circulation following
Steve Chiasson's death in 1999. Also out of circulation is the number 99 which was retired league-wide for
Wayne Gretzky on February 6, 2000.[113] Gretzky did not play for the Hurricanes franchise during his 20-year NHL career and no player in franchise history had ever worn the number 99 prior to its retirement.[114][115]
The Most Valuable Player award is an annual award given by the Carolina chapter of the Professional Hockey Writers' Association to the team's MVP.[119][120]
The Steve Chiasson Award is an annual award given to the player who "best exemplifies determination and dedication while proving to be an inspiration to his teammates through his performance and approach to the game" as selected by his teammates.[121]
