Glens Falls stands behind Adirondack Thunder

For Thunder forward Shawn Weller, a 36-year-old South Glens Falls native, it was a scene that hearkened to the old days of the Adirondack Red Wings of the American Hockey League.

"I've seen it," Weller said Tuesday. "I grew up here. Like I said, this community has always been attached in some sort of way to hockey. You think about Glens Falls, you think about the Red Wings, you think about hockey. I said at the beginning of the year, if you put a product on the ice that works hard and can relate to this community, it's a hard-working community, they're going to stand behind you."
