The calendar hasn’t even flipped to June yet the first free agency domino has fallen for the Checkers in the form of veteran goalie Drew MacIntyre re-signing with the organization.
Free agent goalie Drew MacIntyre has signed a new two-way contract with the Carolina Hurricanes, ensuring that one of the Checkers’ key free agents will be returning to the organization next season.
Through their five-year existence in the AHL, one of the most constant things for the Checkers has been having John Muse on the roster. Though he played a more secondary role this season, the netminder turned in solid numbers and will continue to fight for a starting position in the league.
It may have only lasted 10 games during a less-than-crucial portion of the season, but Danny Biega emerged from his first career NHL stint feeling like a new man.
Ron Francis, Executive Vice President and General Manager of the National Hockey League’s Carolina Hurricanes, today announced that the contract of Charlotte Checkers Head Coach Jeff Daniels will not be renewed for the 2015-16 season.
