==Sports== Glens Falls has a tradition of minor league hockey. The highly successful [[Adirondack Red Wings]], four-time [[Calder Cup]] champions of the [[American Hockey League]], played in the city from 1979 to 1999. When the parent [[Detroit Red Wings]] disbanded the franchise, it was replaced by the [[Adirondack IceHawks]] of the [[United Hockey League]], which was renamed "Frostbite" in 2004 before it folded in 2006. From 2009 to 2014, the city was the home to the AHL's [[Adirondack Phantoms]], the principal farm team of the [[Philadelphia Flyers]]. On May 16, 2014, the [[Calgary Flames]] announced the [[Adirondack Flames]] would be their AHL affiliate. The Flames played one season before the AHL underwent a large realignment before the [[2015β16 AHL season|2015β16 season]] and the Calgary Flames moved their AHL team to [[Stockton, California]] (renamed to [[Stockton Heat]]) and moved their [[ECHL]] team to Glens Falls, called the [[Adirondack Thunder]]. Glens Falls' East Field is home to the [[Glens Falls Greenjackets]] of the Empire Football League. The Greenjackets started in 1928 and is the second oldest-active semi-pro football team in the country. The Greenjackets are 2008 & 2009 NAFL Empire Division Champions (10β0) and the 2009 NAFL North Atlantic Region Champions (14β0), and finished the season at 14β1 as the NAFL Eastern Conference Runners-up, 2009 NAFL Elite 8.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.greenjacketsfootball.com/|title=Home|website=www.greenjacketsfootball.com|access-date=December 22, 2019|archive-date=December 26, 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091226002843/http://www.greenjacketsfootball.com/|url-status=live}}</ref> The city is also home to the Glens Falls Dragons, a baseball team playing in the [[Perfect Game Collegiate Baseball League]], a [[List of collegiate summer baseball leagues|collegiate summer baseball league]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Glens Falls Dragons|url=http://www.glensfallsdragons.com/|website=The Official Site of the Glens Falls Dragons|access-date=20 May 2017|archive-date=June 15, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170615032958/http://www.glensfallsdragons.com/|url-status=live}}</ref> Since the team's inception in 2003<ref name="archives">[http://www.glensfallsgoldeneagles.com/archives/archives.php Archives] at glensfallsgoldeneagles.com, URL accessed December 31, 2009.
