Sekera, Kaleta, Weber, Plante, Beaverson
Patrick Kaleta, Andrej Sekera, and Mike Weber were all returned to the Amerks in what could be the last transaction ever between the two teams. Kaleta played Sunday against the Crunch, Weber was given the night off. Andrej Sekera did not rejoin the Amerks though as he joined Team Slovakia in the World Championships.
As previously [...]
Mike Weber Back in Rochester
Mike Weber has pretty much guaranteed himself a spot on the Sabres roster for the 08/09 season, until then he has returned to Rochester, hopefully to finish out the season, or to at least accept his Man of the Year award. Here’s a great hit he rebounded from on Saturday in Boston.
Another Late Penalty Costs Amerks
The Rochester Americans couldn’t hold the Grand Rapids Griffins when a late penalty by Adam Dennis gave the Griffins a power play opportunity that they capitalized on, allowing the go ahead goal to take the lead 3-2 in the game with less than five minutes left.

David Jarram Signs ATO With Amerks
Right Wing David Jarram signed an ATO with the Amerks yesterday. He has 11 goals and 7 assists for 18 points in the OHL this season. Let’s hope he can make the impact that Tommy Goebel did in his short time in Rochester.
Tommy Goebel Released From ATO
Forward Tommy Goebel was released from his ATO today. In five games with the Rochester Americans Goebel scored two goals and three assists for five points. With five points in five games, the Amerks should be interested in giving Goebel a long term look dispite his size.
