The Hurricane made a handful of roster moves today, assigning forward Martin Necas and defenseman Haydn Fleury to the Checkers and recalling forward Clark Bishop from Charlotte.

With the season opener days away the Checkers have trimmed their roster, assigning three players to the ECHL.

It came down to the wire but the Checkers kept their winning ways going against Utica, beating the Comets 4-3 to improve to a perfect 3-0-0 on the season.

The Checkers continued their red-hot start to the season by defeating the Syracuse Crunch 4-1 to move to a perfect 4-0-0, the in the AHL franchise’s history.

The Checkers and their partners are supporting our community this season with the new Score for Charity program.

At every home game this season, fans can place a $5 bet on which participating player will score. If your player scores, you will win a collectable card autographed by that player. All proceeds from fan bets will go directly to the Checkers Charitable Foundation.

For every goal that a Score for Charity player scores at home this season, their partnered business will donate $100 to the charity of their choice listed below.
