History
The franchise of the Winston -Salem IceHawks of the United Hockey League was founded in 1999 by Winston -Salem, North Carolina, to Glens Falls, New York, relocated and renamed Adirondack IceHawks. There they replaced the Adirondack Red Wings of the American Hockey League. During the seven years of its existence, the team was one of the most consistent in the league. In the years 2001 and 2005 they finished their division respectively in the first place. In the playoffs, they reached in the 2000 /01 season the second round, where they were subject to the New Haven Knights in the best- of-five series with 2:3 victories. Previously the team had received a bye.
In summer 2004, the ESPN commentator Steve Levy and former NHL player Barry Melrose bought the franchise and renamed it in Adirondack Frostbite. A stir the suicide of head coach Marc Potvin made on 13 January 2006 a few hours before a league game against the Kalamazoo Wings. On 12 June 2006 the game was officially set operation, after the team owners could not agree on a new lease with the arena - line. Since the 2009/10 season is with the AHL team of the Adirondack Phantoms again a professional ice hockey team in the city.
