Charlotte Checkers

Are third from last place in the Atlantic Division. They sure have sucked since the Hurricanes sold them. Highlight was playing the out door matches.

They are over 500 for the year so far so not sucking but not doing stellar either. Last year they ended top 1/3 in AHL. Everyone's has their own definition of "sucks" but I would refer to them as decent. The wife and I went to a game last year and it was fun. I had not been to the old coliseum in many years.
The Hurricanes logo has been dropped from the scoreboard and from all gear. I have no idea who owns them but they are now affiliated with the Florida Panthers of the NHL. They have had plenty of time to reinstall the perks of atmosphere they had before the pandemic.
They have never been owned by the Hurricanes. That's not how it works in minor league hockey. The Hurricanes currently have no AFL affiliate. 'Canes prospects play all over the world when not laced up with the big club.
I have no idea how you have no idea who owns them when the answer was posted two posts before yours.NewApp wrote: ↑Mon Jan 29, 2024 5:03 pmThe Hurricanes logo has been dropped from the scoreboard and from all gear.

Don't read if you are triggered by people that don't really care for the national anthem.NewApp wrote: ↑Mon Jan 29, 2024 12:39 pmMcLeansvilleAppFan wrote: ↑Sun Jan 28, 2024 2:55 pmI did not think the Hurricanes owned them but was just had an affiliation agreement with the Checkers.

The games are absolutely nothing like when the Hurricanes had them. They are on a season losing streak unless they won last night. No atmosphere. No "halftime" except that stupid car riding around and suckers throwing foam pucks at the hole in the roof. No dance team. No meet the players on the ice. Gear sucks and is over priced. Boring. Only thing they have is they always have a youth group sing the National Anthem and EVERYONE stands with their hat off and hand on their heart. Don't see much of that at other sporting events.
And yes, whatever an affiliate means. Anyway Checker players got moved up to the Hurricanes (and down from) quite frequently.
I have no idea how you have no idea that NewApp has no idea who owns the Checkers. You know he thinks Google sux, and I found out by using Google.NattyBumppo'sRevenge wrote: ↑Mon Jan 29, 2024 5:55 pmI have no idea how you have no idea who owns them when the answer was posted two posts before yours.NewApp wrote: ↑Mon Jan 29, 2024 5:03 pmThe Hurricanes logo has been dropped from the scoreboard and from all gear.

I have no idea how you have no idea that I have no idea that Cline has no idea how to use Google so I did it for him and posted the answer and still he has no idea.McLeansvilleAppFan wrote: ↑Mon Jan 29, 2024 8:33 pmI have no idea how you have no idea that NewApp has no idea who owns the Checkers.

Well EXCUSE me. What I meant was I HAD no idea and don't care. But as far as influence goes, the Hurricanes certainly had influence and it was positive.NattyBumppo'sRevenge wrote: ↑Mon Jan 29, 2024 5:55 pmI have no idea how you have no idea who owns them when the answer was posted two posts before yours.NewApp wrote: ↑Mon Jan 29, 2024 5:03 pmThe Hurricanes logo has been dropped from the scoreboard and from all gear.

Actually the Checkers had cooler colors and better uniforms before the Hurricanes affiliation/rebrand. The Checkers brand goes all the way back to 1960 (the franchise was the Clippers from '56-'59) and their Eastern Hockey League days (you, should Google it!). They've played in the original Charlotte Coliseum since that season except for a few years in Spectrum. Thankfully, management moved them back to the classic building after a nice renovation. The Checkers are by far the longest running sports brand in Charlotte (even though the brand has been shared by several different franchises.)NewApp wrote: ↑Tue Jan 30, 2024 12:21 amWell EXCUSE me.
