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 …

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 …

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 …

If You Can't Beat 'Em, Beat 'Em…Amerks Lose 6-1 To The Crunch
The Rochester Americans lost tonight to the Syracuse Crunch in a sad 6-1 final score. This, of course, is better than last year on the Crunch’s “Pink Out” night when the Amerks were creamed 9-2. Emmerson made his AHL debut tonight and did a good job. But, more on that later. The first period started …

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 …

Craig Schaller: Who Do You Think You Are Kidding?
Why is Craig Schaller still doing the Amerks’ postgame show? He clearly could care less about what is happening to the Amerks at any given time. How does he start off his post-game show on Saturday? By telling the Amerks’ fans how the Pirates won their first game and we didn’t and how the Pirates …

Craig Anderson Looks Amazing with the Panthers
Craig Anderson just keeps showing us Amerks’ fans that he was the real reason the Amerks made it to the playoffs in the 2006-07 season. And with a more skilled defense in front of him (or maybe a few goals scored in the series), the team could have taken out the Hamilton Bulldogs…and the rest could …

Thursday Morning Amerks' Practice 10-23-2008
Here we are again at the arena (my son’s favorite thing to do on a Thursday morning). Practice isn’t under way yet, but there is someone on the ice… Jordan Henry is skating by himself right now. Doing some good ol’ fashion skating drills on his own. He looks pretty good. Hopefully, that knee sprain …

Every season, the Rochester Americans’ players go out on the town to many different places for fans to meet them and strike up a conversation or two. I always enjoyed bringing my son to these events, he loves the events and always thinks it’s a great time to get to talk to his favorite hockey …

Tuesday Morning Amerks' Practice
Shawn Matthias was out on he ice today for his first non-game-day practice with the Amerks today. People think he has been invisible in the very very short time he has been here, but let’s not forget that he just got to the team on the day of the first game. He hasn’t had any …

Bad Start For The Amerks…6-1 Loss to the Crunch
 I thought the Amerks were starting off strong when Karl Stewart scored only 4:46 into the first period. Tyler Plante got a short debut in goal tonight for the Rochester Americans tonight. He played nearly all of the first period, but was pulled in favor of Beckford-Tseu after goals from Mayorov, Filatov and Sestito slipped …
