"The Carolina Hurricanes announced Tuesday that the team will honor former captain and 23-year NHL star Ron Francis prior to its game on Jan. 28 against the Atlanta Thrashers.

The team will formally retire Francis' familiar No. 10 jersey during a pre-game ceremony, and honor the franchise's all-time goals, assists and points leader throughout the game."

You must be thinking of a different Ron Francis wink.gif ... This Ron Francis was born March 1, 1963 and has graced the NHL for 23 years.

Congrats to Ron! His number will highlight the rafters of the RBC Center.
