Adirondack Phantoms News Release
GLENS FALLS, NY - The Adirondack Phantoms, proud AHL affiliate of the Philadelphia Flyers, and the Albany River Rats announced in a joint press conference today that Time Warner Cable is the presenting sponsor of their inaugural season series.
The new rivals will battle for the Time Warner Cable Cup in each of the next two seasons. The teams play a pair of pre-season match-ups this weekend and will meet for the first of twelve games during the regular season on Saturday October 17, 2009 in a 7:00 p.m. face-off at the Glens Falls Civic Center. The first game at the Times Union Center will take place on Saturday, October 24, 2009 at 7:00 p.m.
The Time Warner Cable Cup will be presented annually to the winner of the season series (winning the most of the twelve head-to-head games) and will be displayed at the team's home facility until the rivalry is renewed the following season. Time Warner Cable Sports will be producing a pre-season show highlighting the Time Warner Cable Cup rivalry to air on TWC3.
The winning team will also help designate a local non-profit to receive a $5,000 grant from Time Warner Cable. Local organizations will have the opportunity to apply for the award by completing an online submission process at www.timewarnercablecup.twalbany.com. Those applications must be completed no later than February 1, 2010.
Organizations will be judged on how their organization connects youth to opportunities that inspire them to develop the important science, technology, engineering and math skills they need to become the problem solvers of tomorrow.
Time Warner Cable's Regional VP of Operations John Quigley said, "Time Warner Cable loves sports and is a long-time supporter of this community. The ongoing rivalry between River Rats and the Phantoms is sure to be exciting. We're proud to join the teams in this series, but even more importantly are happy that the Time Warner Cable Cup allows us to support significant and successful educational programs changing the lives of kids in the community."
