Due to hazardous weather and travel delays in North Carolina, Friday’s 7:30 p.m. game between the Charlotte Checkers and Abbotsford Heat at PNC Arena in Raleigh has been postponed until Saturday, Feb. 15, at 5 p.m.
Checkers broadcaster Jason Shaya checks in each week with his 10 Thoughts - a series of observations about the team and the hockey world in general. This week: Olympic hockey, the Checkers' recent play and the upcoming games in Raleigh.
The Checkers returned home from their longest road trip in three months but still couldn't get back in the win column as they head into the AHL All-Star break on a four-game winless streak.
As they prepare to play their third game in four nights with cross-continental travel involved, the Checkers are hoping some new additions can help them power through.
