Utica Comets vs Springfield Thunderbirds | April 4th, 2025

In one of the team’s final home games of the regular season, the Utica Comets stepped onto the ice against the Atlantic Division’s Springfield Thunderbirds on a night when the team honored local police officers for their dedication to the community. The night began with a ceremonial puck drop with the Mayor of Utica, Michael Galime and the Utica Police Chief, Mark Williams, to the delight of those inside the Adirondack Bank Center. With the support of the crowd behind them, the Comets, wearing specialty themed police jerseys, looked to continue their winning ways as they were victorious in their previous three contests. Although the Comets gave up the first goal of the game, they were not deterred and kept moving forward skating away with the victory by a 5-2 score winning their fourth straight contest.
