March 18, 2005 - American Hockey League (AHL)
Adirondack Phantoms News Release
Popular South Street restaurant Copabanana will be debuting its newest menu item on Monday called the Pittsburgh Umberger, named after Philadelphia Phantom R.J. Umberger. The rookie center who grew up in Pittsburgh will be on hand to help cook and then be the first person to sample the new burger, which features fried onion rings and muenster cheese.
A 2001 first-round NHL Draft pick of the Vancouver Canucks, Umberger starred at Ohio State University before signing as a free agent with the Philadelphia Flyers organization last summer. The 22-year-old currently leads the Phantoms and ranks fifth among all AHL rookies in scoring with 45 points.
Located on South Street since 1978, Copabanana was selected as Philadelphia's Best Burger by AOL and is a member of City Paper's Burger Hall of Fame. Also specializing in Spanish fries, margaritas, and barbecue and Tex-Mex platters, Copabanana also has locations at 40th & Spruce and 1619 Grant Ave.
Tickets to all Phantoms home games are $19, $18 and $14 for adults, and $8 for all children 14 and under, and are available now at the Wachovia Center box office and all Ticketmaster locations throughout the Delaware Valley.
