It’s official. The Charlotte Checkers are the best of the best. Charlotte won the MacGregor Kilpatrick trophy this week, given to the team that finishes the AHL’s regular season with the most points. The Syracuse Crunch have made a push in the second half of the season, but some slips over the last ten games put them out of the picture for the best regular season team.
Weekly Recap
The Checkers dominated in their first game of the week by disposing of the Lehigh Valley Phantoms 5-1. Charlotte opened the game with a pair of goals in the first period from Tomas Jurco and Aleksi Saarela.
