The Adirondack Phantoms and the Double H Ranch are teaming up on Saturday, January 22, 2011 to raise money for the Double H Ranch, an organization founded by Charles R. Wood and Paul Newman providing year-round programming for children and families dealing with life-threatening illnesses.

“This is part of our commitment to the community and teaming up with a local charity to help raise money for a great cause. We talked with different people in the community and were given Max Yurenda’s name and the Double H Ranch. After meeting with Max and learning about the Double H Ranch, we have decided to team up with them this year to make a difference,” said Rob Brooks, Co-Owner of the Adirondack Phantoms.

The night will feature a commemorative jersey worn by the Phantoms during the game versus the Hamilton Bulldogs, made possible by New York Long Term Care Brokers (NYLTCB), headquartered in Clifton Park, NY.

"Being game sponsor for the Double H Ranch Night with the Adirondack Phantoms is a great way for my company to raise money for the Double H and at the same time gives the Double H children and families the chance to reunite for an evening full of fun and excitement. NYLTCB and the Double H family will be out in full force in support of the Phantoms as well as the organization.” states Kevin Johnson, President, New York Long Term Care Brokers.

“What better way to kick off the New Year than with the support of our local Glens Falls community as the Adirondack Phantoms Hockey Club supports our children and families through Double H Ranch Night with the Phantoms! Our children are particularly excited to be given this opportunity to cheer on the Phantoms, as cheering is a skill they have mastered during summer camp!” notes Max Yurenda, CEO/Executive Director of the Double H Ranch.
