Just what the Amerks needed, an injured defenseman. I believe it was late in the first period when Ellerby caught a puck in his hand …

The puck barely touched the ice on Saturday night when Mike Duco and Tim Wallace dropped their mitts to continue the battle the two of them seem to have going. A good way to create a spark to start the game and try and get some blood flowing on the bench. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaiEYzmjRe8 The last time …

One aspect of the AHL All-Star Game and Skills Competition that probably doesn’t get all that much air time is the impact that the mascots have on the crowd. They entertain fans inside and outside of the building on both days.

Sometimes all you need is a picture and no other words need to go along with it, check out the smile on the face of that girl as Graham Mink was handing out pieces from the accuracy shooting contest. It’s a moment the girl and those other kids will probably never forget.
Rochester is well represented at this years AHL All-Star Classic event with Graham Mink, Alexander Salak, Keaton Ellerby and also The Moose! “This is for the fans,” P.K. Subban talked about during an on ice interview to start the game. It is a great event to see the star players from every team around the …
