The Adirondack Flames raised $16,594.00
\nfrom a post-game jersey auction and donated the
\nfunds to the Wounded Warriors Project.<\/p>\n

The auction was held on Military Appreciation
\nNight, sponsored by Local Plumbers and Steamfitters
\n773, in November.
\nThe event was the first themed jersey night
\nof the season as the Flames donned Snow Camo
\njerseys to show appreciation to the U.S. Armed
\nForces.<\/p>\n

After the Flames defeated the Rochester
\nAmericans 2-1, the jerseys were auctioned off
\nindividually to fans with every jersey being sold,
\nteam officials said.
\nThe evening’s top seller was David Wolf, whose
\njersey went for $1,750, one of the highest bids
\never on a themed jersey in Glens Falls, the team
\nsaid. Emile Poirier also eclipsed the $1,000 mark,
\nas his bid finished second at $1,050.<\/p>\n

“We’d like to thank Larry Bulman and Scott
\nMartel, Local Plumbers and Steamfitters 773,
\nand the United Association for their sponsorship
\nof the evening and our fans and corporate partners
\nwho came out in support of the Wounded
\nWarriors Project,” Adirondack Flames President
\nBrian Petrovek said. “Raising over $16,000 for
\nsuch a great cause is an incredible feat and
\non behalf of our players and staff we’d like to
\nexpress our appreciation to the community for
\ntheir response and generosity.”<\/p>\n

Military Appreciation Night also recognized
\nseveral veterans from the local community from
\na variety of different branches of service with an
\narena wide public address recognition during the
\nsecond period.<\/p>\n

Martel, business manager of Steamfitters
\nand Pipefitters 773, and Bulman, international representative of the United Association of
\nJourneymen and Apprentices of the Plumbing
\nand Pipe Fitting Industry of the United States,
\nCanada and Australia, dropped the ceremonial
\nfirst puck, after a national anthem that featured
\nthe Glens Falls VFW Color Guard and a large
\nAmerican flag held over the ice by Adirondack
\nFlames Youth Hockey players.<\/p>\n

“We thought the night went really well, it was
\nwonderful to be a part of and to be involved with
\nthe Flames,” Bulman said. “We’re also pleased
\nto see the money go to such a great program
\nlike Wounded Warriors. We’ve never forgotten
\nour troops. There are many families that have
\nhad members hurt in the line of duty and this
\nprogram helps them. We’re honored and proud to
\npartner with the Flames for such a great night.”<\/p>\n

The Flames also honored Chief Warrant Officer
\nBill Huestis of Ticonderoga as the United
\nAssociation VIP Hero of the Game. Huestis
\nserved for over 20 years in the U.S. Army as a
\nSpecial Forces operator, instructor, senior advisor
\nand commander. His deployments included
\nstints in Italy, Bulgaria, Bosnia, Kosovo and
\nIraq. His awards and decorations include the
\nSpecial Forces and Airborne Tab, Bronze Star
\nand Combat Infantryman’s Badge. Huestis is
\ncurrently in his first year apprentice working at
\nGlobal Foundries in Malta, through the United
\nAssociation VIP Program.<\/p>\n

The mission of the Wounded Warriors is to
\nfoster a successful, well-adjusted generation of
\nwounded service members. The project aims to
\nraise awareness and enlist the public’s aid for
\nthe needs of injured service members.<\/p>\n
