See, Im torn...Albany, NY is my home town and I hate to see them lose the team. I do try to make it whenever Albany comes to Norfolk to play the Admirals... I didnt know the Hurricanes were the 'parent team' for 'Rats, and I really dont have a pro Hockey team.So, its a good thing , I guess.

I agree with Wilmington. Their isn't a huge arena outside of the one on Gordon though...and that is tiny. Plus, the UNCW club hockey team plays there. Schwartz center is too small. Maybe build something? Idk. Too many things needed for the River Rats to come to Wilmington. :nonod:

Thanks god you were talking about hockey...I thought for a minute that that overrated overpriced poohole in SC was moving into Charlotte

I live about 2-3 miles from there. It is overpriced but not a poohole. It's kind of like how olive garden sucks but you could do worse. And it's one the only places that has beef ribs in the pork dominated Carolinas.

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)

      Hes said many times hes a diehard Panther fan. Being a player he is going to be very pro player. I dong think its a conspiracy just someone close to the individuals

      OK, let me first say that I can't get any Twitter link to embed--using "X" or "Twitter" or whatever, and I'm tired of trying. Now, I must say that I see Panthers stuff in Facebook on occasion as I'm part of some group, but I see Panthers stuff even less on the cesspool that is now X, but as a follower of the official Panthers Twitter, stuff pops up on that feed too. I guess that I shouldn't be surprised that agents of the organization would be putting out tweets like this: He's not even trying to be objective. It stands to make sense though. In order to get better information, you have to go to national sources like Kurt Warner.  I'm not necessarily trying to pick on J-Stew, per se, but I can't take him seriously, as even some past Panthers players, like Greg Olsen for example, don't seem like they're just trying to cater to Panthers Nation, just saying hollow words to make everyone feel good.  I just wonder why here on the Carolina Huddle, there seems to be more objectivity, or at least more critical thinking and serious discussion than most other social media sources on the Panthers. It's interesting. There is a significant difference.  For all the changes and the seeming decline in popularity to whatever degree, the Carolina Huddle still has its place and plays a big part in overall Panthers fandom. We want to be happy, joyous and cheer for the Panthers, but we aren't necessarily trying to shoot sunshine up people's derrières either.
