AMERKS 2017-18 HOME OPENER SET FOR FRIDAY, October 6

May 11, 2017 - American Hockey League (AHL)
Rochester Americans News Release


The Amerks will remain in the seven-team North Division and for the second straight year will play only teams within the Eastern Conference. Joining Rochester in the North Division are three new franchises set to make their AHL debuts in 2017-18, including the Belleville Senators, Binghamton Devils and Laval Rocket, in addition to the Syracuse Crunch, Toronto Marlies and Utica Comets. Rochester will face Binghamton, the newest affiliate of the NHL's New Jersey Devils, Syracuse and Utica 10 times apiece (five home, five road) and will play Belleville, top developmental team of the Ottawa Senators, Laval, which will serve as the AHL affiliate of the Montreal Canadiens, and Toronto eight times each (four home, four road).

The Amerks will again play the entire Atlantic Division this coming season, with two matchups each against the Bridgeport Sound Tigers, Hartford Wolf Pack and Charlotte Checkers, who will shift to the Eastern Conference beginning in 2017-18. The two games against Charlotte will be the first in franchise history since the Checkers joined the AHL for the 2010-11 campaign. Similar to last season, they will also face the Providence Bruins and Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, last year's Macgregor Kilpatrick Trophy winners, twice (one home, one road) while also seeing the Hershey Bears, Lehigh Valley Phantoms and Springfield Thunderbirds for a pair of meetings (one home, one road), down from four from last season.

The complete American Hockey League schedule for the 2017-18 regular season will be announced at a later date. Below is a complete breakdown of the Amerks' opponents for the upcoming season.
