After seeing Jake Luhrs (lead singer from metal band August Burns Red) go viral for his handshake with Wayne Gretzky at the Winter Classic ([https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm7x41FNT7P/](https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm7x41FNT7P/)), it got us wondering:
Who are some Canes fans that are popular outside of the hockey world (but not celebrities)?

Scotty McCreery is probably the biggest one.
Wool E. Bull
Devonte’ Graham in the NBA
And he’s not a celebrity, but Marquise Williams the QB from UNC
me.
I think Karen Robinson who played Ronnie on Schitt’s Creek is a big Canes fan. At the very least I know I’ve seen her rock a Canes sweater.
Is Evander Holyfield a fan or did he just participate in the Storm Surge for fun?
John Isner is a huge caniac
NC Gov Roy Cooper
I would mention one but someone would be immature and make a stupid comment just from seeing his name.
But during the early days of covid, he made many appearances on tv wear a canes face mask.
Stephen Colbert. He references us occasionally, and had David Ayres on a cold open a few days after he played us.
Harry Styles golfs with the boys every chance he gets
As far as not a celebrity goes you should see my DMs whenever I visit NC for games 😂
I’ve heard somewhere that Charles Dickens and Yoda are both huge Caniacs.
If this subreddit has taught me anything, it’s gotta be Gilbert Gottfried (RIP)
Zion Williamson.
I know Cuba Gooding Jr. was at some of the games during the 2006 cup run.
So was Kid Rock unfortunately. Which is weird because he’s from Michigan.
William Byron, NASCAR driver.
