It was a special moment for the Brind&#8217;Amour family, as they got to see Skyler debut with his father, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/b\/brindro01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-06-20_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Rod Brind&#8217;Amour<\/a>, behind the bench as the Hurricanes head coach. Skyler is just the eighth player in NHL history to play a game in the NHL with his father as head coach.<\/p>\n<p>The next night, the pride the Brind&#8217;Amour family grew even more as Skyler scored his first NHL goal.<\/p>\n<p>With the Hurricanes spot in the Stanley Cup Playoffs already secured, the stars were aligned for the Brind&#8217;Amour family to have these special moments.<\/p>\n<h3>RFA Status<\/h3>\n<p>Brind&#8217;Amour was <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/2017\/08\/17\/tsp-edmonton-oilers-prospects\/\" target=\"_self\">not drafted by the Hurricanes<\/a>, but he was a free agent when he signed with them prior to last season. Despite switching teams in free agency, Brind&#8217;Amour still retains restricted free agent status. As a result, the Hurricanes maintained his rights, but had to offer him a contract to avoid the risk of an offer sheet.<\/p>\n<h3>Brind&#8217;Amour and the Hurricanes<\/h3>\n<p>Brind&#8217;Amour&#8217;s role is not clear at this time. What his role is may depend on a few things. For starters, the remainder of the off-season needs to be looked at to see what other moves the Canes make. Furthermore, a strong training camp and preseason will help Brind&#8217;Amour get on the Hurricanes radar if he is not already.<\/p>\n<p>It does feel safe to say that Brind&#8217;Amour will get more NHL time this season. If he can take advantage of the opportunities, he may became a mainstay in the team&#8217;s lineup.<\/p>\n<h3>Like Father, Like Son?<\/h3>\n<p>Rod helped the Hurricanes win the Stanley Cup in 2006. 20 years later, could Skyler follow in his father&#8217;s footsteps and help bring the Stanley Cup back to Carolina?<\/p>\n<p><em>Main Photo: David Kirouac- Imagn Images<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Carolina Hurricanes announced today that they have re-signed forward Skyler Brind&#8217;Amour to a one-year contract.
