The Charlotte Checkers are going to the Calder Cup Finals. It’s a great 2018-19 season for Carolina hockey. The Carolina Hurricanes made the playoffs for the first time in ten years and made it to the final four, ultimately losing in the Eastern Conference Finals.
Other hockey teams around the state have also experienced favorable seasons. The SPHL Marksmen of Fayetteville made the playoffs only to be knocked out in the first best of three round. The Thunderbirds of the FHL made it to their cup finals winning it all. It is. Glorious time for hockey in Carolina.
