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: opening weekend at the Coliseum and more.
When the Checkers took the Bojangles’ Coliseum ice this morning, it almost looked as if the team was having an optional skate, given the number of participants. But the reality was that the Checkers are simply dealing with an abundance of injuries.
After spending their first 10 games of the season on the road, the Checkers finally made their return to Bojangles' Coliseum for their opening weekend. They split two games with the Manitoba Moose, rebounding after a tough loss Saturday to clinch a last-minute win on Sunday.
