H&V Collision Centers of Troy, New York, the largest independently-owned collision repair company in the Capital Region, has again joined with the Albany Devils hockey team, the minor league affiliate of the NHL New Jersey Devils, as a sponsor for the 2011-2012 season.

The partnership will include H&V Collision sponsoring the "H&V Collision of the Game," where fans of the AHL franchise can review video clips and determine the best collision between players during Devils' home games. H&V sponsored a "Collision of the Game" contest during the Devils' inaugural season in Albany during the 2010-2011 season. By voting, fans are automatically eligible to win an Albany Devils jersey, with a drawing to be held each month during the 2011 AHL hockey season.

"We had a lot of great feedback after sponsoring this contest last year, and are looking forward to partnering with the Albany Devils to bring another great season of professional hockey to the Capital Region," said H&V's Vartan Jerian Jr. "The H&V Collision of the Game is a fun way to involve fans of the Devils and give them an opportunity to win an authentic Devils jersey during the 2011-2012 season. We're looking forward to a productive partnership between H&V Collision Centers and the Devils this year and beyond.

Founded in Troy in the early 1970s, H&V opened a third location in spring 2010 in Colonie. The opening of the third location in Colonie came two years after H&V opened a shop in Queensbury.

Along with expansion that positions H&V to be the largest multi-location collision repair operator in the Capital Region, H&V also implemented new technology and practices to make its three locations more environmentally safe. H&V also implemented modern management practices that reduced repair times and made its shops more efficient.
