Charlie Cerrato was chosen by the Carolina Hurricanes in the second round of the 2025 NHL Draft, emphasizing his journey from Fallston, MD, and his family's sports legacy. His father, Vinny Cerrato, had a controversial career as a general manager in the NFL, noted for his connections and mixed success with the Washington Commanders. Vinny now supports Charlie's hockey ambitions, recalling how his son's love for the sport started at a preschool near a skating rink, where early practices helped shape his talent.
The preschool was right by the rink, so I'd take him over there and he'd skate from 6 to 7.
After being fired by Marty Schottenheimer in 2001, Vinny was re-hired in 2002 by Snyder with a new title: vice president of football operations.
