Tuesday Morning Practice; Injury Updates, Still No Contract

Tuesday Morning Practice; Injury Updates, Still No Contract

It was a cold morning at the ESL Sports Centre in Henrietta for practice this morning.. amazing how much I’ve taken it for granted sitting in warm comfortable seats at Blue Cross Arena instead of metal benches.
Practice was practice, what else can really be said about the team going through the motions and drills.  Worth [...]

The Amerks finally snapped a 13 game losing streak against thruway rivals Syracuse Crunch by shutting them out 1-0 at Blue Cross Arena.  It was yet another game of stellar goaltending from Mike Brodeur who is now 4-2-0 since joining the team, this being his second shut-out.  Mike Brodeur was the first star of the [...]

When Was the Last Time The Amerks…

When Was the Last Time The Amerks…

Here’s some “fun facts” I guess you could call them about the last time certain things were achieved by or against the Rochester Americans.  A few items that stick out more than others: The last Amerk to get a hat-trick at Blue Cross arena was Stefan Meyer on December 16, 2006, nearly two years ago.  [...]

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.  [...]

Amerks’ Practice 10-28-2008

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

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 [...]

Amerks Win Their First Game of the Year…The Hard Work Pays Off

The Rochester Americans won their first game of the season tonight against the Quad City Flames in a 5-4 victory.  Although the game really came down to the bitter end, the players put in 110% effort all night and their hard work finally payed off.
I have been at a lot of practices already this year [...]

If you were able to attend the Amerks fun fest you were able to collect glossy phoot’s from each of the players.  For anyone who’s into collecting autographs and memorabilia these are excellent.  Every player has a signature pad that is a stack of the glossy photo’s of themselves that they can easily autograph and [...]
