Joey Daccord is bouncing back from a difficult 2020-21 season and is having a lot of fun doing so.

There aren’t many instances for the Florida Panthers and Seattle Kraken prospects who make up the Charlotte Checkers to think of themselves as anything but teammates. Sunday was a rare case of that actually happening.

Chicago’s Josh Leivo, Charlotte’s Cole Schwindt and Stockton’s Dustin Wolf have been selected as the league’s award winners for December.

Due to league COVID-19 protocols affecting the Abbotsford Canucks, Charlotte Checkers, Cleveland Monsters, San Diego Gulls and Texas Stars, several games this week have been postponed.

Dan Bylsma has been a Stanley Cup champion and a Jack Adams Award winner, so taking a job as an AHL assistant coach might be a difficult adjustment. But Bylsma disputes that notion.

Cole Schwindt got a taste of the American Hockey League in 2020-21, but it’s nothing like the experience he has been taking in this season.

Charlotte Checkers defenseman Chase Priskie has been selected as the AHL Player of the Week for the period ending December 19, 2021.

Due to league COVID-19 protocols affecting the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, their games scheduled for tonight at Syracuse and Saturday vs. Charlotte have been postponed.

Joey Daccord’s pro career may be relatively young, but it’s been a journey. “That’s hockey. In one day, your whole world changes.”

The Hockey Fights Cancer initiative hits home for many people in and around the hockey business. For Chicago Wolves forward Stelio Mattheos, he has lived it directly.
