I don't know how itty bitty Lake Wylie supports two overated, overpriced steakhouses in T-bones and The River Rat but the must be doing something right. Or maybe it's all the Gastonians with poor taste crossing the border. |

This will give Charlotte the opportunity to see a team full of potential NHL stars rather than a team with maybe 1 or two NHL caliber players.
The Checkers owner is the guy that bought the team. I'm not sure if the Checkers are just going away or if they are getting moved elsewhere. I'm pretty sure the River Rats are taking the Checkers name though. |

This needs to happen. At any rate, having a Canes affiliate in Charlotte would be a huge step towards marketing the team and the sport in Charlotte and building interest in the NHL club in Raleigh (Which does not market itself well at all outside the triangle area, btw)

Yeah you really don't see any commercials for the Canes in the Charlotte area unless you are watching a Canes game or if they are in the playoffs.

Now, if the Checkers have any NHL caliber players, would they be signed to the River Rats roster if there interest within the organization? Seems like a little initiative for the possible move.

Very true, I think with all the injuries the Canes have suffered this year about half they're roster is filled with River Rat call-ups who are playing fantastic. AHL hockey is a sweet spot for quality/price and you have players who are always playing to make the big league. It's pretty awesome.

I believe with the trades that are about to happen the River Rats team will be full in a few weeks.
