Chicago Wolves Dead Last In AHL, Reach Out To Canes For Help…

[MillionDollarCam]

You can’t make this poo up… we bring a Calder Cup to Chicago, the Wolves dump us, and now that they suck, they want our help again.

Ponomarev, Fensore, Seeley, and Mendel have been reassigned from their current AHL/ECHL teams to Chicago.

Wouldn’t be surprised to see them ask for Rees, Robidas, and others as well.

Canes 10 year affiliate Charlotte Checkers also won the Caulder Cup 2019. Wish the Canes hadn’t left and go back to them!

Ya, I’ve been watching fans on Twitter. They basically are giving the wolves a big FU for “not needing a NHL” affiliate.

That’s hilarious. I’m not on Twitter. Care to share any good ones?

Yeah, it feels wrong for the Checkers, who really only exist because of the Canes , and have the Canes colors , not to be our AHL team

This isn't terribly important at this juncture....getting the Canes playing better is, but Dundon should have tried or try to buy the Checkers if the owner would sell the team to him.  It would be a good investment and Dundon and the Committee know what they are doing.

Checkers have decades on the Canes when it comes to dirty south hockey, ackchuallly!!!

This, current, version has been around since 1990, transitioning to AHL affiliation in 2010.

No matter how you look at it, the Checkers pre-date the Canes in NC. They are a big part of the reason the NHL was comfortable bringing a team to our State in the first place.

Ive got a friend in his late 50's, country as can be, whose daddy was a Checker back in the 60s. Didnt know much about hockey, but he could stand up on skates and fight (occasionally simultaneously) which was enough for the team back then... lol

NC has always been hockey country!
