Charlotte Checkers Home Opener And Canes Country Night, Details Emerging

The Charlotte Checkers full season schedule was released on Wednesday and the opponent for their home opener finally became known to the public. The home team will be facing the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins on October 15.
Checkers staff members have been very gracious about working with us and have offered Canes Country readers group pricing for that special night, the first ever home game of AHL hockey in Charlotte. People who purchase their tickets with the Canes Country group have a choice of paying $15 for lower level seating, (probably section 115) or $10 for upper level, (section 116). (see chart here.)
The Checkers have also offered to handle the ordering, money collection, and distribution of the tickets for us. (We'll have details about how to order your tickets and other information later this week.)
Last month we ran a survey asking how many people might be interested in attending the game and we received a very good response, (between 250 to over 300). Included in the survey, we asked about bus transportation and it appeared that there was enough interest for at least one bus, possibly two. We are still working on that and will also have more details for those interested, during the week.
Team officials were also hoping to get hotel discounts for people who wanted to spend the night, but there is a major NASCAR race in Charlotte on Saturday night and it turns out the hotels they were working with were not interested in giving out discounts for Friday. Make your own hotel reservations ASAP if you plan to spend the night.
Once again, stay tuned for more details about how to order tickets this week.

"The increase in pain is way beyond what you would expect a person to play with," said coach Paul Maurice. "Unfortunately it’s even beyond what Tim Gleason can play with, because he can play with just about anything."

I am hoping to be there and ride the bus – WHOO HOO!! can’t wait for it to start, it’s been such a long summer
We’re in, not sure if we’ll drive or bus, but I do have to ask Bob and the group if anyone would have any issues with an eight-year-old on the bus. He cool.

I was more concerned about whether you wanted him exposed to the CC gang for that long! ;)

Well, since I exposed him to second-hand weed on the lawn at the KISS concert Sunday night, I figure he can handle a few wild folks from CC…

Oh, and for the record it was second-hand to the ENTIRE LTD family. Thought I might need to clarify that last point.

May not take the bus, have to see about that, but Me and Mrs C-Leaguer are likely to attend.
Is it possible to be addicted to hockey?
