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.
In his first season of professional hockey, Brock McGinn faced the adversity that most rookies come up against as they make the jump from the amateur ranks. But after battling through the ups and downs, he has emerged as one of the most exciting prospects in the Carolina system.
The Checkers have been careful to not place too heavy of expectations on their rookies, particularly on defense. So it’s pretty safe to say that Trevor Carrick exceeded any expectations in year one.
