The Checkers have signed defenseman Colton Huard to a two-year, one-way AHL contract that begins next season.
The 24-year-old blue liner will now join Charlotte on an amateur tryout (ATO).
Huard recently completed a four-year career at the University of New Hampshire, where he totaled 67 points (14g, 53a) in 134 games and led team blue liners in scoring for each of his first three seasons.
Prior to going to college, Huard recorded 35 points (5g, 30a) in 93 games over two USHL seasons and helped Chicago win the Clark Cup in 2020-21.
