Over the past few days a lot of things have happened regarding the Rochester Americans financial situation, none of it has appeared to be good news. Everything has been mentioned from bankruptcy, the Sabres buying the team, and the city saying they won’t allow current management to have a team at Blue Cross Arena next season.
The financial situation probably isn’t going to get better anytime soon, but we still have a team playing great hockey. The team is 6-3-1 in the past 10 games and is at .500 in the standings, so don’t let this news keep you or anyone else away from games!
