CHARLOTTE, NC - The Pensacola Ice Pilots continue a long four-game road trip tonight (Friday) when they face the Charlotte Checkers at Bobcat Arena.
It's only the second appearance for the Blue and Gold in Charlotte this season. In the only other meeting, Mike Wirll scored one of the team's more spectacular goals of the season in an Ice Pilots 4-2 win over the Checkers.
