Amerks Given Ultimatum

As the Rochester Americans head into the final four games of the season, the city has issued an ultimatum to Steve Donner, the co-owner of the Amerks and Knighthawks – sell the teams or vacate the Blue Cross Arena at the War Memorial.

We’ll find a way to summarize all of this next week, until then we’ll be at each of the final four games (Weds @ Hamilton, Fri vs Syracuse, Sat @ Toronto, Sun vs Lake Erie).

You can read the full report from Rachel Barnhart on 13wham.com.  There should be more information in Wednesdays edition of the Democrat and Chronicle as well.

May 6th is the date that all AHL teams need to report to the league to declare whether they will operate next season.  So, if anything we’ll have some sort of answer within the next 30 days.  Seems like we’ve heard that before…
