Cam Ward played in over seven hundred career games. He was drafted by the twenty fifth overall by the Hurricanes back in 2002 and was an excellent goalie for Carolina. ward was instrumental in Carolina winning the Stanley Cup back in 2006 and won the Conn Symthe Trophy for the playoff's most valuable player.
He finished his NHL career with three hundred thirty four wins, twenty-seven career shutouts, and a goals-against average of 2.74. All very good numbers and arguably the best goalie in franchise history. Cam Ward will join other fellow teammates in the Hurricane's Hall of Fame. He joins Glenn Wesley, Rod Brind'Amour, and Ron Francis.
