Ulf Samuelsson is now the head coach for the Carolina Hurricane’s AHL affiliate the Charlotte Checkers.

[su_quote cite=”Ron Francis via NBC” url=”https://nhl.nbcsports.com/2016/05/31/ulf-samuelsson-leaves-rangers-takes-carolinas-ahl-gig/”]“Ulf has built a very strong coaching resume during a decade behind the bench in the AHL, NHL and Swedish league,” Carolina GM Ron Francis said in a release. “He has a proven history of helping to develop young players and understands the organizational culture that we are building here.” [/su_quote]
