| - First of all, I have to comment on the "Category" of the Charlotte Checkers... it lists them as an Amateur Sports team, and that couldn't be further from the truth. The Checkers are a top-notch, PROFESSIONAL sports team, and one of the best in the business.
They are a member of the American Hockey League, just a small step down from the NHL and guys like Sidney Crosby, Alex Ovechkin, and former players like Wayne Gretzky. Since they are now affiliated with the Carolina Hurricanes, it's especially fun to see NHL players in Charlotte, or travel to Raleigh to see former Checkers playing.
Events at TWCA are great fun, and the Checkers seem to have a pretty competitive team every season. In 2010-11, they made it to the Eastern Conference Finals.
Tickets are INCREDIBLY affordable, starting as low as about $10, and there really isn't a bad seat in the house. My favorite seats are anywhere between center ice and the blue line, about 15-20 rows up.
Not really a big fan of their cheerleaders and the "uniforms" they wear (they could double as waitresses at Hooters!), but the guys probably enjoy that?
I bought season tickets on a whim last year, and couldn't be happier with my decision. I'm not entering my second year as a STH, and think it's going to be a very long relationship!
Go Checkers!
