Dax’s story begins in the Adirondack’s where he was born and raised. Dax spent most of his time watching television, playing video games, eating fast food, and lying around the house. This would all come to an abrupt end when there was a terrible snow storm which knocked out all of the power to Dax’s home. Without power, Dax’s television wouldn’t work, which limited his entertainment options.

The lonely Beaver was forced to go outside and find something else to do. He did not have many friends since he rarely went outside, so he decided to go for a walk. Eventually he found himself in Glens Falls where he witnessed a purple figure walking through the woods. As he carefully approached the purple figure he realized that it was none other than the former Adirondack Phantoms mascot, Phlex!

Phlex was fresh off his retirement as the Adirondack Phantoms mascot and was beginning to prepare for his travels around the world. Phlex and Dax became great friends as they got to know one another. Phlex taught Dax how important it is to stay active, eat healthy, and try new things. Phlex also began to tell Dax all about his former job as the Adirondack Phantoms mascot and how the team had no one to replace him. After a while, Phlex began to notice that Dax was now living a more active lifestyle and making healthier choices. Phlex saw that Dax was becoming a great leader and would set a good example for others in his community.

Finally it was time for Phlex to move on and continue on his journey around the world. Phlex felt confident that Dax would continue to make positive decisions in his life and set a good example for others. Before departing, Phlex presented Dax with a very special gift; his cape which had special powers. When Phlex placed his cape on Dax’s shoulders, a magical energy flowed through Dax and caused him to transform. Dax suddenly grew very tall and fluffy and his fur turned bright and colorful. Dax danced and jumped until he was used to his new strong and healthy body.

Phlex encouraged Dax to take all that he had learned about living a healthy lifestyle and to share it with others as the new mascot of the Adirondack Phantoms. Dax was honored and immediately accepted the challenge. Phlex and Dax said their goodbyes and parted ways. Dax headed straight for the Glens Falls Civic Center where he got right to work encouraging others and cheering on the Adirondack Phantoms.

GO PHANTOMS!
