The Checkers announced today that they have recalled Ben Steeves from the ECHL’s Savannah Ghost Pirates. The 22-year-old forward posted two points (1g, 1a) in eight games for Charlotte at the end of last season.
After taking over offensively in Charlotte’s first two games of the season, Aidan McDonough has been named the Howies Hockey Tape/AHL Player of the Week.
The Checkers won with a shutout by Ken Appleby as Aiden McDonough scored early in the second period and Rasmus Asplund rounded it out in the third with both a power-play and an empty-net goal.
In an incredible comeback, the Checkers took the win 7-6 in their season opener on the road against the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins powered by Aiden McDonough's hat trick.
