Team


The team was announced on January 20, 2022, under the ownership of Todd Tierney and Tadd Sipowicz, and is managed by Jeff Mead. Sipowicz and Mead are the Chief Revenue Officer and President of Business Operations, respectively, for the ECHL's Adirondack Thunder.
On the same day, they announced the team's first head coach would be Adirondack Red Wings all-time points and games-played leader Glenn Merkosky. Merkosky has head coaching experience with the Sudbury Wolves from 1992 to 1996, and the Adirondack Red Wings from 1996 to 1999.
They play in the Eastern Hockey League Premier (EHLP) a development league for the Eastern Hockey League, within Tier III junior hockey.
The team fills a gap in Upstate New York hockey, citing the loss of local youth players to other areas to play junior hockey before college. The team is largely made up of local players from the Glens Falls and Albany area.
