Carolina Hurricanes Re-sign Eric Robinson for 4 Years After His Most Productive NHL Season
The Carolina Hurricanes have re-signed depth forward Eric Robinson to a four-year contract worth $6.8 million. General manager Eric Tulsky announced the extension Friday. Robinson will count $1.7 million against the salary cap through the 2028–29 NHL season. The Bellmawr, New Jersey, native set career highs with 14 goals, 18 assists, and 32 points this past season after joining the Hurricanes as a free agent. Robinson had three points in 15 games on their run to the Eastern Conference final, which ended with a series loss to the eventual Stanley Cup–champion Florida Panthers. 'It's no surprise to us that Eric had his best professional season last year with Carolina,' Tulsky said. 'His size and speed make him an excellent fit for the way we want to play.' Carolina has made the playoffs seven consecutive years since Rod Brind'Amour took over as coach. Robinson's only previous playoff experience in the league came in the 2020 bubble with Columbus. Robinson, 30, has played 413 NHL regular-season and playoff games with the Blue Jackets, Buffalo Sabres, and Hurricanes since debuting in 2018.

South Jersey church carnival closes early after hundreds of kids crowd streets in Bellmawr
South Jersey carnival ends in chaos with unruly crowd of kids and teens South Jersey carnival ends in chaos with unruly crowd of kids and teens South Jersey carnival ends in chaos with unruly crowd of kids and teens A large crowd of kids and teens led to a night of chaos at a South Jersey church carnival over the weekend. CBS News Philadelphia was there as a large crowd of juveniles swarmed the streets of Bellmawr Saturday night. Police say they began to gather at the annual St. Joachim Parish carnival around 8:30 p.m. — forcing officials to close down early — and the group peaked at more than 400 people shortly before 10 p.m. "(They gathered) from here all the way to probably ShopRite, they were everywhere," said neighbor Diane Pumphrey. Russell McDonnell lives across from the site of the carnival. "It was crazy ... I've never seen nothing like it in my life," McDonnell said. McDonnell also said as things escalated, he feared for his safety. "It was total chaos. I didn't even want to even come out the door, afraid of somebody shooting," McDonnell said. While police did receive reports of gunshots in the area, they said they did not find any evidence of a shooting. Police say several cars, street signs and the windows of a corner store were damaged. Surveillance video from the store shows some of the crowd outside. "When I saw the cameras, it was crazy because I saw a lot of police," the owner said. The situation was under control by about 11:30 p.m., Bellmawr police said. In total, three juveniles were arrested at the scene. Despite all that happened, many here say they don't want the actions of a few to ruin it for everyone and they'd like to see the carnival come back. Two people were injured, including an elderly woman who had a head injury after being knocked over. Bellmawr police said they are investigating the incident. In a statement from the Diocese of Camden, the parish said in part, "We believe those involved were not from our immediate community." "The carnival is a cherished tradition and serves as the largest fundraiser supporting the many ministries of Saint Joachim Parish," the statement said. "Looking ahead, we are committed to working with local officials, community partners, and the New Jersey Legislature to explore solutions that will preserve the joyful spirit of our carnival while ensuring a secure environment for all."
