Welcome the Thousand Islands Privateers!

A new professional hockey team will be unveiled tomorrow afternoon at 1 at the Bonnie Castle resort in Alexandria Bay. They’re called the Thousand Islands Privateers, and they’ll be playing in the single ‘A’ Federal Hockey League starting next November. Listen to an interview (and find out what the name means) with the owner here.

For the record, the North Country’s highest level hockey team is the Adirondack Phantoms, who play in Glens Falls and are affiliated with the Philadelphia Flyers.
