About the Checkers The Charlotte Checkers are an American ice hockey team in Charlotte, North Carolina, playing in the ECHL (formerly the East Coast Hockey League). The Checkers were founded in 1993 and played from then until 2005 in Cricket Arena. In 2005, they moved to St. Lawrence Homes Home Ice at Charlotte Bobcats Arena. The team set their all time attendance record of 11,237 on February 10, 2007 in a 6-3 loss against the Texas Wildcatters. Their previous record was 10,894 in a win against the Florida Everblades in November 2005. As of February 20, 2007, they are second in the ECHL in attendance, increasing their attandance by 45% over their inaugural season at Charlotte Bobcats Arena. Many people claim that the new arena is part of the reason for increased attendance as well as an increased interest in hockey in North Carolina due to the in-state NHL 2006 Stanley Cup champions, and also the influx of northern transplants into the Charlotte region. However, it should be noted that Charlotte's minor-league hockey influence is much older, dating to 1956, when the Eastern Hockey League's Baltimore Clippers moved to Charlotte after a fire destroyed part of the Baltimore team's arena. They played games in the Charlotte Coliseum (now Cricket Arena) for the balance of the season. The team decided to stay in Charlotte, adopting the Checkers nickname in 1960. The team joined the EHL's other Southern franchises in forming the Southern Hockey League in 1973, where it played until the league's demise in 1977. Visit gocheckers.com for more information.

Past Fundraisers Last year, volunteers from CCC sold tickets and "Chuck-a-Pucks" for the game on March 30, 2007. Several youth groups attended, including First United Methodist from Lincolnton, NC and First United Methodist from Belmont, NC. Several of the 2007 CCC staff members were in attendance, including the camp directors, who took a break from their training weekend to sell "Chuck-a-Pucks." It was a great time of fun and fellowship for all who attended! BUY TICKETS NOW! Tickets to the April 4, 2008 Charlotte Checkers game are $12 apiece.
