The Carolina Hurricanes have not been one to shy away from signing college prospects. Even after being shunned by top college prospect Adam Fox, they still managed to make a splash with collegiate players.
Earlier this year the Carolina Hurricanes signed Stelio Mattheos to a three year entry level Contract that starts next season as he joined the Charlotte Checkers for their postseason push on an Amateur Tryout Agreement. The 19 year old has since hit the Ice skating hard with a pair of goals and an assist since.
With their captain Patrick Brown going up to Carolina Hurricanes to fill in for the concussed Andrei Svechnikov, the Charlotte Checkers are getting another college player to shore up their roster as they look to begin their journey towards a Calder Cup Trophy this Saturday.
