The NHL team formerly known as the Hartford Whalers may be about to harpoon long-time play by play announcer Chuck Kaiton.
Kaiton has been with the team since 1979 and moved to North Carolina with the present day Hurricanes in 1997. For most of the time he has been the solo play by play man in the booth. He is currently working under a one year contract extension that is about to run out.
Reports indicate the team is considering using Kaiton on the radio only for home games and simulcasting the TV broadcast on Hurricane radio stations for away games.
