ADIRONDACK FLAMES ANNOUNCE GAME PRESENTATION PLANS FOR UPCOMING SEASON

Glens Falls, NY - The Adirondack Flames announced today game presentation plans for their 2014-15 home games at the Glens Falls Civic Center.

Glens Falls has experienced AHL Hockey for 25 years but the Flames will bring a new and improved brand both on and off the ice to the region this season, while maintaining several popular features brought to fans by the Adirondack Red Wings and Adirondack Phantoms over the years.

“The Adirondack Flames have committed to improving the game day fan experience at the Civic Center,” Adirondack Flames President Brian Petrovek said. “We want fans to be fired up about not only the product on the ice but also the experience they receive from beginning to end. We appreciate the promotional commitment made by many of our local sponsors to make this all happen.”

Beginning with a new NHL Affiliate in the Calgary Flames, Glens Falls hockey will be rebranded with the red, yellow and black of its parent club. The new Flames brand will feature not only a new logo, but also new jerseys, merchandise and even a new mascot, a scorching hot addition to the Flames family. The team’s new mascot will be introduced to the public within the next two weeks.

The Flames’ game presentation this season will be brought to you by Myriad Productions, which has provided live and post production video services to venues throughout the Northeast for over 25 years. Myriad Productions, which also works with the Times Union Center in Albany and the Saratoga Performing and Arts Center, will allow for the Flames’ in game presentation to reach the next level.

In addition to the new look, the Flames’ in game experience will be a memorable one, with new features including:

• Saturday Night is Hockey Night in Glens Falls, presented by Bud Light. Several local bars and restaurants have partnered with the initiative including Davidson Brothers Brewing Company, The Bullpen, Applebee’s, Recovery Sports Grill, Dango’s Irish Sports Bar, Sandy’s Clam Bar, Humbuggs, Full Moon, Fitzgerald’s, Lawrence Street Tavern, Downtown City Tavern, Sully’s West, Morgan and Company and O’Tooles Restaurant and Sports Bar with the list subject to change. Discounted food and drink specials will be available at these locations before and after the game, with discounted Bud Light Drafts available at the Glens Falls Civic Center through Ovations Food Services during the game.

• Opening Night will include a giveaway to the first 2,000 fans into the building never before seen in our market: A collector coin, sponsored by Team Ferior.

• The Flames’ “Hot Sheet” replaces the Game Day Program to give fans all the information they need to know about the game. The “Hot Sheet” will include free inserts, highlighted by a “Player Card” series. The Hot Sheet will feature

a new, 8 ½ by 11 trading card of an Adirondack Flames player, leading to a complete 38 card set at the end of the season.

• A player autograph table will feature scratched or injured players, accessible during many home games in the Civic Center lobby, to sign autographs and have photos taken.

• Not only will autographs be available, but fans will be introduced to “In-Game Intercepts”, sponsored by Glens Falls National Bank, for the first time. Fans will see a live player interview at the conclusion of warmups every night and a coach interview at the conclusion of each first period. The interviews will be shown live on the Civic Center’s video boards.
