While the Veterans Day Game is a special event for many in the Utica community, it is of particular importance to Adirondack Bank Center Chief Operating Officer, Rick Redmond.
"It's an honor to carry on the tradition of hosting a game on Veterans Day. The Comets organization and the City of Utica are passionate about supporting and recognizing our military community. As a proud veteran myself, it means a lot to be able to give back and honor those who have made great sacrifices for our country and who make our community truly special,” said Redmond.
The game will also highlight the partnership with Martin’s Point Health Care, a not-for-profit organization offering specialty and primary care, Medicare Advantage plans, and TRICARE Prime coverage for active-duty military families and retirees. As the presenting sponsor of this year’s Veterans Day Game, Martin’s Point will be on the concourse providing information about its military health plans, as well as offering prizes and giveaways.
