Hockey is the only situation where one can be jubilant about recurring air-raid sirens and not be found guilty of treason. Raise your sticks in celebration of a new year with today's Groupon to a live Carolina Hurricanes hockey game vs. the Florida Panthers at the RBC Center in Raleigh on January 3 at 7 p.m. Choose from two options:

• For $25, you get one Balcony Premier ticket in sections 301–307 and 321–327 (a $45 value)
• For $45, you get one Lower Level North or South ticket in sections 108–115 and 123–130 (an $80 value)

The Hurricanes' captain Eric Staal is giving an All-Star caliber performance this season, while goaltender Cam Ward aims to repeat his rookie season performance leading the Canes to their first-ever Stanley Cup in 2006. Balcony seats give you a high, wide view of the action, while the lower bowl seats behind the nets and uprights increase your chances of taking home some commemorative teeth. From either vantage point, the Canes will dazzle you as they subdue in-conference rival Florida Panthers with anesthetizing checks, ship pucks to the back of the net via FedEx, and get into fistfights with boxing kangaroos.
