CHARLOTTE, N.C. - The Charlotte Checkers and Bobcats Sports and Entertainment announced today that the two teams will play a double-header on Saturday, April 7, with the Checkers hosting the Abbotsford Heat at 12 p.m.

The Bobcats will host the Atlanta Hawks later that night at 8 p.m. The Checkers game was originally planned for Friday, April 6 at 7 p.m. against Abbotsford but was moved to accommodate the rescheduling of the Jan. 25 Red Hot Chili Peppers concert.
