The Carolina Hurricanes today announced that they have named Mike Vellucci as head coach of the Charlotte Checkers. Vellucci replaces Ulf Samuelsson, who the NHL’s Chicago Blackhawks today hired as an assistant coach.
After helping lead the Checkers’ unlikely run to the postseason last year, Andrew Miller is now the first to be brought back into the organizational fold.
From being named captain to having a career year offensively to earning an extended look in the NHL, it’s hard not to be impressed with the strides that Patrick Brown took this season.
