Adirondack Phantoms Block Party

Saturday, October 3, 2009 is a special day for hockey fans throughout the Adirondack region. The North Country has waited ten years to call an AHL team their own again. Global Spectrum, the management company of the Civic Center, is welcoming the Adirondack Phantoms to their new home for the 2009-2010 AHL season with a pre-game Block Party in the front plaza starting at 5:00pm.

In collaboration with the Adirondack Chamber of Commerce, Global Spectrum has invited local businesses to partner with non-profit organizations to provide activities and games for the young Phantoms fans to enjoy.
