Besides free admission to the Jets' first-ever open practice at the Meadowlands, there's one thing all Jets fans can be certain of at this weekend's training session -- they'll be cooling down with samples of the team's official ice cream.

That's because the Jets' official ice cream flavor has been included on the preseason roster, just in time to beat the heat wave. Jets Sundae Blitz Ice Cream is made by Turkey Hill Dairy of Lancaster, Pa. and named in honor of the New York Jets and their tried-and-true fans. While it's not green, the new flavor does team premium chocolate ice cream with peanut butter swirls and mini-choco-peanut-butter footballs.

Jets Sundae Blitz commemorates the Jets' strong defensive line and the team's charitable contributions to help area youth organizations through the New York Jets Foundation. For each sack made by the Jets, members of the team's defensive line make a financial donation to the Foundation. The team's 25 sacks during the 2005 season raised $35,000. The players will be joined during the 2006 season by Turkey Hill Dairy, who will also make a donation for each sack by the Jets' defense.

"We were drawn to the Jets because of their strong fan base and their support of the children of New York," said Quintin Frey, president of Turkey Hill Dairy. "That's something we always want to be a part of, and we're so proud to honor a partnership that includes kids, families, true athletes and their surrounding communities."

Jets Sundae Blitz is available year round at Pathmark, A&P, Shoprite, Waldbaums, King Kullen, Foodtown, and Stop N Shop. For a sample of the new team flavor, visit Turkey Hill at the Jets' training camp at the Meadowlands on August 5 or Hofstra University on August 23.

Located in the rich farming country of Lancaster County, Pa., Turkey Hill Dairy produces the fifth largest-selling premium ice cream brand and the top-selling refrigerated iced tea brand in the nation. The 75-year-old, third-generation, family-run dairy sells its products in a market that extends along the East Coast -- from Maine to North Carolina.
