The NHL Network announced today a broadcast package with 20 game ‘Game of the Week’ matchups, seven of which will include games featuring the Rochester Americans.  The games will air on Thursday nights beginning this week at 7pm on the NHL Network in both the United States and Canada.

The 20-game package marks the most AHL games ever televised on NHL Network, which aired 12 AHL match-ups last season.  NHL Network has been televising AHL games since the 2004/05 season.

None of the Amerks games will be broadcast live, but it’ll be a great opportunity for them to be seen nationally. 

The NHL Network can be viewed on Channel 233 on Time Warner Digital Cable in Rochester, NY.
