Due to a decision made late this afternoon by the Abbotsford Heat to institute a game time change within their constitutional rights, Sunday’s start time has been delayed from 1:30 p.m. to 4 p.m.
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.
