ECHL: Adirondack Thunder Announce Promotional Nights

The Adirondack Thunder will host 13 theme nights during the 2024-25 season, and it all kicks off on October 26th for the home opener vs Trois Rivieres Lions. After winning the North Division and Eastern Conference Regular Season Championships, it will also be a banner night for the Thunder. The first 1,000 fans will receive a novelty Thunder banner, and the first 3,500 fans will receive a SkyZone Red Glow Stick.

Notable Promotion Nights

10th Anniversary Celebration – The Adirondack Thunder are entering their 10th season as the Adirondack Thunder and will host a 10th Anniversary Celebration on Saturday, November 30th vs Reading Royals. Adirondack will wear special 10th Anniversary Jerseys, and the first 1,000 fans 14 and under will receive a youth jersey. 

Teddy Bear Toss and FireFighter Night- One of the most anticipated theme nights of the season will come on December 14 vs Maine Mariners as they host Teddy Bear Toss and Firefighter Night. Last season, Adirondack had 4,432 bears thrown onto the ice. The Teddy Bear Toss has become a staple across all of minor league hockey, as all 28 teams in the ECHL hosted a Teddy Bear Toss last season. More info on last season’s league-wide Teddy Bear Tosses can be found here.

Country Night- One of the biggest theme nights from last year and one that would bring home an award for the Thunder is returning during the 2024-25 season as the Thunder will host Country Night on March 8th vs Wheeling Nailers. Just like last season, the Thunder will be wearing special jerseys that night, but it is expected to be different from last year’s country night. Along with Country Night, the first 1,000 fans will receive a Michelob Ultra Koozie.

Affiliation Weekend- The Adirondack Thunder will once again continue to show their ties to their NHL affiliate, the New Jersey Devils, as they host affiliation weekend on January 25th and 26th as they host the Norfolk Admirals. They will wear special New Jersey Devils-themed jerseys for both games. Adirondack and New Jersey recently extended their affiliation agreement earlier this Summer.

Stick It To Cancer Weekend- There are some weekends that are bigger than hockey itself, and Stick It To Cancer Weekend has always been a weekend where everyone comes together to help find a cure for cancer. Last year, the Thunder raised nearly $47,000 during Stick It To Cancer Weekend. In past seasons, fans have gotten to paint the ice after Friday night for the names to be displayed on the ice for Saturday’s Game. The Adirondack Thunder will also wear special jerseys during Stick It To Cancer Weekend.
