The fan-favorite Tip-A-Checker event, in which Checkers players take on the role of servers and bartenders for the night, is making its return on April 3 at Ed’s Tavern in Dilworth.
The Checkers traded in the offensive fireworks for a defensive battle in their visit to Hartford, and it was Connecticut native Mackie Samoskevich who came through in the clutch to deliver Charlotte a 2-1 overtime win.
The Checkers continued to stockpile points over the weekend, bouncing back from a tough overtime loss to throttle the Phantoms in the rematch and collect three of a possible four standings points.
