But Glens Falls Mayor John “Jack” Diamond is looking ahead to next season and hoping the city’s new AHL team will go far in the 2015 playoffs.

To encourage the chances of that happening, city officials have agreed that if the team makes the playoffs, the city will rebate a portion of the payment the Calgary Flames, which are relocating their AHL affiliate to Glens Falls, will pay for advertising sign rights at the Glens Falls Civic Center, Diamond said in an interview at City Hall on Thursday.

“It’s kind of an incentive,” Diamond said.

The incentive is one of the features of a contract, which he will summarize at a press conference with the Flames management at 9:30 a.m. Friday at Heritage Hall in the Glens Falls Civic Center, Diamond said.
