Return to Adirondack

I'm skipping the standard Freak Out Friday in favor of a preview for a new AHL team. It was recently announced the Abbotsford Heat will move to Adirondack and become the Flames next season — replacing the Phantoms who are moving to Glens Falls.

Steve Maurer shares his take on potential uniforms for the new Flames. The team will wear a version of the old Atlanta Flames logo.

By the way, I've been unusually busy away from the website lately, hence the lack of updates to the blog. But as summer begins, I hope to get back to regular reports once again. Thanks for bearing with me.

0532: A Mile High Winter
