Adirondack IceHawks
November 15, 2020
In the spring of 1999, Glens Falls, New York lost its longtime minor league hockey club, the Adirondack Red Wings. For 20 seasons, the Wings were the top farm club of the NHL’s Detroit Red Wings. The team won four Calder Cups as champions of the American Hockey League during the 1980’s and early 1990’s and routinely packed the small city’s 4,800-seat Civic Arena in those years. Into the void left by the Red Wings stepped Art & Lori Shaver, who moved their United Hockey League franchise from Winston-Salem, North Carolina to Glens Falls in June of 1999.
