The Hershey Bears had their January 25 home game against the Charlotte Checkers postponed due to Winter Storm Fern on Sunday. Now the team has updated its schedule to accommodate the change.
The postponed Bears-Checkers game will now be played on Monday, March 2, at 7 pm inside Giant Center. The Bears game originally scheduled for Tuesday, March 10 vs. Charlotte has been moved to Tuesday, March 3 at 7 pm at GIANT Center, creating a midweek back-to-back between the two rival teams.
The changes create an incredibly difficult five-game-in-seven-day stretch for the Bears: Hershey plays Utica at home on Wednesday, February 25; travels to play the Rockford IceHogs for a back-to-back on Friday, February 27, and Saturday, February 28; and then returns home for a back-to-back against the Checkers on Monday and Tuesday.
The results of that stretch could end up being crucial for where the Bears end up in the standings by season’s end, as they currently trail the Checkers by eight points for third place in the Atlantic Division.

More updates, including the promotions for those games, are included in the press release below from the Hershey Bears:
