2012-13 Promotional Schedule: More Than Hockey

September 24, 2012 - American Hockey League (AHL)
Adirondack Phantoms News Release


Great giveaways, terrific value, and lots of fun are on tap for the Adirondack Phantoms in the 2012-13 season, presented by Bud Light, as the team officially unveils their upcoming promotional schedule. Get ready for lots of good times at the Glens Falls Civic Center. It's More Than Hockey!

Even more fan interaction with the players is included this year. We will have some great post-game skates presented by Glens Falls Hospital as well as autograph, photograph and jersey auction opportunities.

Two great bobblehead nights will be featured this year. We will be honoring local radio legend and long-time P.A. announcer Dan Miner on one of the bobblehead giveaway nights. Our second bobblehead giveaway will feature everyone's favorite mascot, Dax the Beaver.

"Dan was very receptive to the idea of his own bobblehead and our fans are going to get a big kick out of it," said Executve Vice President of the Phantoms, Chris Porreca. "Getting approval for the Dax bobblehead proved a little more difficult. Who knew that a beaver could be such a hard negotiator! But once we threw a little more popcorn on the table, Dax couldn't resist and we were able to hammer out a deal."

We're bringing even more specialty jerseys to the ice this season with some fun themes that can be won by fans during our post-game auction nights and raffles throughout the season. The opening night Adirondack Red Wings throwback jerseys will be a big hit as we honor Glens Falls' first AHL team. Also featured this season will be Mustache jerseys in November, Tuxedo themed jerseys for New Year's Eve, a Dax jersey to celebrate our favorite mascot's birthday, and don't forget the ever-popular Pink in the Rink jerseys.

On April 14, Phantoms fans can cha-cha-cha their way into the Guinness Book of World Records by participating in the world's longest on-ice conga line.

Every Phantoms fan will want to take advantage of the brand new All You Can Eat Pre-Game Buffets in Heritage Hall. Saturday nights are Pasta Nights and Friday nights are All-American. And the best part is the price: only $12! The buffet starts at 5:30pm so arrive early to fuel up before the big game! Space and tickets to the buffets are limited. You can purchase your buffet tickets in advance at the Adirondack Phantoms' office.

On top of that, of course we're bringing back all the great value nights you've come to know and love: $2 Draft Beer Specials for every Friday home game and $1 hot dogs every Wednesday. And the best bargain around is the Sunday Family Fun Pack for every Sunday home game: 3 tickets, 3 hot dogs, 3 sodas, 1 large popcorn and 1 program for only $43. That's a 43% savings off the regular price. You save $33!

It all begins on Saturday, October 13 on Opening Night with a Phantoms Magnet Schedule giveaway presented by Great Meadow Federal Credit Union.
