The Raleigh IceCaps played in Dorton Arena from 1991 until 1998. They didn't win any division titles or ECHL championships, but they won the attention of sports fans in the Triangle and helped build inroads for the eventual arrival of the Carolina Hurricanes. Former IceCaps captain Jim Powers and winger Paul Strand joined 99.9FM The Fan's Joe Ovies to discuss their experience playing for a minor league hockey team on Tobacco Road.
