Under league ownership last season, the team was purchased by Dr. Timothy Maggs, 65, of Schenectady, and a press conference was held on Wednesday.
The last time the team tried out a "new look", it was after they'd moved into the then-Knickerbocker Arena, and ultimately changed their name to the Capital Region Pontiacs, which led to them being forced to leave town due to poor attendance at the arena.
Attendance is still a problem at the ancient Washington Avenue Armory, though more than 2,000 fans turned out for the championship clincher. However, it's been tough trying to recapture the magic of the team's glory years, and it was like that a decade ago during the rebirth of the Continental Basketball Association.
The next step? Moving out of the Armory is a must, and going back downhill, this time to the Capital Center, may be the key to the team's overall survival.
===================================
Troy High's golf match with Ballston Spa was a victim of early afternoon rain on Wednesday. They'll try again on Monday. Meanwhile, the school's soccer, tennis, & volleyball teams play Schenectady today.
