Under the incentive clause, the team will receive a “small payment” for each round of the playoffs it makes, Diamond said.
The Adirondack Phantoms, which made the Civic Center home ice the past season, did not have the rebate incentive in their contract, and did not make the playoffs at all, Diamond said.
Diamond said the rebate, if the team makes the playoffs, would be more than offset my concession revenues from playoff games.

It's an interesting concept to try and keep the parent club motivated to keep the AHL team competitive.
