SARATOGA SPRINGS — Two members of the Adirondack Thunder hockey team visited the Wesley Community, a senior living campus in Saratoga Springs, on Tuesday for a meet-and-greet with residents.
Adirondack Thunder forward Andre Ghantous and defenseman Taylor Ford stopped by, as did the Thunder’s official mascot “Gunnar” and its Director of “Pawsitivity” Stormy, a service/therapy dog.
“We are delighted to welcome members of the Adirondack Thunder to our campus and to offer a new and engaging experience for our residents,” said J. Brian Nealon, CEO of The Wesley Community, in a news release. “Collaborating with the Thunder on this fun and lively event is sure to get everyone moving and to foster a strong sense of community.”
The Thunder are a minor-league hockey team based in Glens Falls that are affiliated with the NHL’s New Jersey Devils. The team will be hosting its annual “Stick it to Cancer” weekend on Mar. 28 and 29.
