Elmira, NY The Elmira Jackals announced today that the First Arena will host a regular season AHL home game for the Binghamton Senators this year.
The Jackals and the First Arena will be the hosts for an American Hockey League clash between the Binghamton Senators and the Norfolk Admirals, Saturday, February 17th, 2007 in Elmira, NY. This is the only home game of the 2006-07 regular season that the Senators will not be playing at their home rink, the Broome County Veterans Memorial Arena in downtown Binghamton.
In the past Elmira has hosted AHL exhibition games at the First Arena, but this will be the first time that a regular season AHL game will be played in Chemung County. Most recently the Rochester Americans and the Syracuse Crunch went head-to-head in Elmira during the 2003-04 preseason.
