GLENS FALLS — As professional hockey returns to Glens Falls after a three-year hiatus, many of the players on the Adirondack Phantoms’ training camp roster are setting foot in the Adirondack region for the first time.

Not so for Andrew Lord, who spent four years in Troy playing college hockey for Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and who is excited to be part of the team bringing professional hockey back to a nearby town.

“They love it,” he said of the fans in the community. “It’s a great town. I have a couple buddies who played for Albany last year, and they had some games up here and said it’s almost a full house a lot of the nights. They definitely love their hockey. I know I heard a lot of things from back in the day when they had their old team, and it’s exciting to come to this rink. We’re looking forward to it.”
