Adirondack Phantoms News Release
PHILADELPHIA - The Philadelphia Phantoms today announced details on a new program that will be unveiled during the 2007-08 campaign. Pregame speaking engagements with new Phantoms goaltending coach Neil Little will take place live at the Wachovia Spectrum prior to select home games throughout the season.
Instituted for the fans, "Learn A Lot With Little" will be held once per month at Bullies Sports Bar and Restaurant. The program, which will begin just 45 minutes prior to face-off, will give fans a rare opportunity to hear from a coach so close to game time.
Little's report will include in-depth and up-to-the-minute details on the Phantoms. Little will also provide insight on the club for that night's game, with lineups, scratches, keys to the game and players to watch. He will also help fans with a pre-scout of the opponent. A question and answer session will follow.
"This interaction is something that we feel our fans are really going to enjoy," noted Phantoms COO Frank Miceli. "To have the attention of a coach so close to game time and get this type of insider information is rare. We're glad to be able to offer it as just another great reason to attend a Phantoms game."
A member of the Philadelphia Phantoms Hall of Fame, Little is a legend among Phantoms fans. The goaltender is the only player to have played on both Phantoms Calder Cup championship teams, in 1998 and 2005. Little enters his first season as a Phantoms coach holding three of the team's four all-time goaltending records - games (351), shutouts (18) and wins (177).
"Learn A Lot With Little" will be open to the public, with a section of preferred seating for Phantoms season ticket holders. The sessions will take place on the following dates:
Friday, October 12
Friday, November 16

Sunday, April 6
