The AHL announced Friday afternoon that Sunday’s matchup between the Hershey Bears and Charlotte Checkers has been postponed due to inclement weather forecast to impact the East Coast.
Puck drop between the two teams was originally scheduled for 5 pm at Giant Center. Hershey is in a part of Pennsylvania currently expected to get 12 to 18 inches of snow over the next few days.
The Bears say a make-up date for the game is yet to be determined. Fans with tickets to Sunday’s game are being asked to hold onto them until further information is communicated about the rescheduling.
