The Adirondack Phantoms,
proud AHL affiliate of the Philadelphia Flyers,
announced their schedule format for the upcoming
2011-12 season presented by Bud Light. The Phantoms
will play 76 games including 38 at home and 38 on
the road. Adirondack is playing in the newly formed
Northeast Division with four other teams and will
play 24 of their games within their division.
The Phantoms will also play 32 games against the
Eastern Division, 12 games against Atlantic Division
teams, and 8 games against opponents from the North
Division of the Western Conference.
"The schedule breakdown looks great with some
different teams visiting our arena," said Phantoms
Executive Vice President Chris Porreca. "Families
will get a chance to see some exciting entertainment
all season long at the Glens Falls Civic Center
and that is very positive for our region."
The teams Adirondack will see the most are the
Albany Devils (10 games), Syracuse Crunch (10 games),
Binghamton Senators (8 games) and Norfolk Admirals
(8 games).
Last year, the Phantoms and Albany Devils split
the heated season series at six games apiece.
The Phantoms and Crunch series wasn't as close
in 2010-11. Adirondack won seven out of eight against
Syracuse.
Adirondack won the 2010-11 series over the Calder
Cup champion Binghamton Senators going 4-3-1.
Along with the Phantoms' 10 games against the Devils,
their games in the Northeast Division include six
against the Bridgeport Sound Tigers, four with the
Connecticut Whale and four versus the Springfield
Falcons.
Other Eastern Conference opponents include four
games each against the Hershey Bears, Manchester
Monarchs and Portland Pirates plus two games each
versus the Providence Bruins, Wilkes-Barre/Scranton
Penguins and Worcester Sharks.
From the Western Conference, the Phantoms will
see the Rochester Americans, Hamilton Bulldogs and
Toronto Marlies.
