Former Carolina Hurricane to compete on 'The Amazing Race'
Former Carolina Hurricane Bates Battaglia and his brother, Anthony, are among the contestants on the next season of CBS reality show, which premieres Feb. 17.
Posted — UpdatedFans had captured what appeared to be grainy images of them at an airport abroad.
The Chicago brothers could be tough competition on the show.
Jonathan "Bates" Battaglia, 36, also played for the Toronto Maple Leafs and his brother is a member of the Central Hockey League.
The Battaglias could also have travel experience on their side. Each has traveled a lot for hockey and have had teammates from all over the globe. (Maybe a few friends they can contact if they need help on the race?) And Bates played for a Swedish team last year, so he has knowledge of that country already. Anthony, 33, played in Manchester with the English Premier League.
The new season of "The Amazing Race" premiers Feb. 17.
Do you think the Battaglias stand a chance on the race? What do you think of the other teams?
What other athletes would you want to see on the race or "Survivor?"
