Shame shame shame on me for spending 3.5 years in Charlotte before going to my first Charlotte Checkers game! I had so much fun last week!
Why do I love on the Checkers? Well, for one, they play at TWC Arena - a super clean, quite fun environment. As I've mentioned before, there really isn't a bad seat in the house. Plus, the crowd really gets into the game! There's great announcing, entertaining games and such between periods. I saw something akin to a hamster ball where two people were rolling around on the ice. Definitely something I want to add to my bucket list.
And the team - sweet! Everyone loves a brawl and there are a handful of Checkers who can really land a puck and a punch. Fast skatin', slap shots and an occasional fight? A to the men. I'll definitely be back for some affordable hockey in the very near future!
