Six Game Home Stand Starts Tonight

The Rochester Americans start a six game home stand tonight against the Toronto Marlies, and concludes two weeks later on November 14th against the Chicago Wolves.  There will be no lack of tough games in the coming weeks.
Tonight the Amerks take on the Toronto Marlies for the first time this year.  The Marlies are 3-3-1 [...]

Shawn Matthias Is Back

Matthias returned to Rochester this morning after playing in the Florida Panthers vs Ottawa Senators game on Thursday night in Florida.  He had a total of 7:21 minutes of ice time in the game.  Now we’re just hoping he steps up his play for us here in Rochester and doesn’t think he can cruise by [...]

Shawn Matthias Recalled

Shawn Matthias has been recalled by the Florida Panthers.  Matthias has played eight games with the Rochester Americans and has one goal and one assist..  It seems he will be centering the third line for the Panthers tonight when they take on the Ottawa Senators in Miami.

Practice 10-30-2008

The team is working in smaller groups today.  Right now half the team is sitting on the bench while the other half practices puck movement.  It is very informative.  They are really getting some good passing and scoring going on.  Kenndal McArdle, once again, can stick the puck anywhere he wants to in the net.  [...]

Practice 10-29-2008: The Return Of Rory

The day you have all been waiting for is here.  Rory Fitzpatrick has returned from his head injury and is practicing with the team.  Peter Aston is also back on the ice today after a day off with a sore hip.  We have eight defensemen on the ice now.  A nice sight to see.
The atmosphere [...]

Panthers Sign Jassen Cullimore

The Florida Panthers have signed defensemen Jassen Cullimore to a one year deal.  He’ll be taking the spot of Cory Murphy who is going to be out for a while with a shoulder injury.  Considering the way our Amerks defense has played so far this season, we can’t afford to lose our top defensemen Jason [...]

Amerks’ Practice 10-28-2008

I was hoping to see a really tough practice today after Saturday and Sunday’s games (and even Friday’s, it wasn’t a beautiful win).  And that is exactly what I am seeing.  Coach Benoit is not messing around today…not that he ever messes around.
During the first drill we are here for there are people still not [...]

Amerks Lose Second Straight On The Road. 8-3

The Bears and Amerks were supposed to renew their rivalry tonight in Hershey.  And if they did, the Bears came out on top big time.
I really don’t even have words to show my dissapointment in tonight’s game.  I would like it if Curt Styres or someone from the Amerks would give me back my $6 [...]
