The Hurricanes are dipping their toes in the political waters.

The National Hockey League team's announcer, Chuck Kaiton, has been making recorded phone calls on behalf of a Raleigh City Council candidate who used to be a Hurricanes spokeswoman.

In August, general manager Jim Rutherford hosted a fundraiser at his Raleigh home for Republican presidential contender Mitt Romney.

And last year, forward Cory Stillman appeared in a TV ad for Wake County's $970 million school bonds.

It seems that everyone wants a little of that Stanley Cup magic.
