With the recent announcement on Sunday
morning that the National Hockey League (NHL) and the National Hockey League Players’
Association (NHLPA) came to a tentative agreement to a new Collective
Bargaining Agreement (CBA), the timing to feature professional hockey in the area couldn't come at better time.
On Sunday the Charlotte Checkers, American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate club of the National Hockey League (NHL) Carolina Hurricanes, play on the big club's home ice surface for the first-ever AHL game played at PNC Arena.
The Checkers (19-11-5), currently in first place in the Western Conference - South Division, host the Norfolk Admirals (14-16-2), occupants of last place in the Eastern Conference - East Division.
For fans in Raleigh, it will be the first glimpse of professional hockey all season.
Judging by the energy in the building, they have a lot of it to release.

Final: Charlotte 3, Norfolk 1
