The press conference to officially announce the relocation of the Calgary Flames' AHL affiliate to Glens Falls has been scheduled for Friday morning.

It will be held at 9:30 a.m. in Heritage Hall at the Glens Falls Civic Center and is open to the public.

Glens Falls and Flames officials will be on hand to discuss the relocation and announce the new team name.

From the Flames, general manager Brad Treliving and assistant general manager Michael Holditch, who visiting the arena in April, will be present. The Glens Falls officials will include mayor Jack Diamond, common council members and others, according to EDC Warren County president Ed Bartholomew.

The Flames announced May 5 that they would move their AHL team to Glens Falls after saying a few weeks prior that the team would not remain in Abbotsford, British Columbia.

According to the mayor, the team and the city have agreed on a deal for three years with options for two additional years.
