Rochester Americans News Release
(Rochester, NY)... The Rochester Americans announced today their radio schedule for the 2008-09 American Hockey League season. This season, all 80 regular season games will be carried on SPORTSRADIO 1280 WHTK and whtk.com.
Don Stevens enters his 23rd season as the "Voice of the Rochester Americans." Former National Hockey League forward Ric Seiling will also return to the booth for his third season as the color commentator. In addition, Craig Schaller will continue to take calls as the host of the "Penalty Box" postgame call-in show.
The Amerks will open their 53rd AHL season at The Blue Cross Arena at the War Memorial against the Syracuse Crunch. Faceoff is set for 7:35 p.m. Gates will open at 6:30 p.m. On Opening Night, fans will enjoy one of the most exciting openers in the history of the franchise, as the organization provides pregame entertainment, LIVE music, free autographs, kids' events and the largest bobblehead giveaway in team history.
Opening Night will start with a bang as Shane Yellowbird and the Skycoasters perform FREE concerts outside the arena to kick off the Block Party. The Skycoasters will play from 4:30 to 6:00 p.m. and will be followed by country music recording artist Shane Yellowbird from 6:15 to 7:15 p.m.
As part of the Block Party, kids and adults will also get to meet area mascots, face painters, clowns and famous Amerks alumni as Jody Gage, Dick Gamble, Doug Gibson, Stan Jonathan and Geordie Robertson to name a few. Further, fans will be able to jump around in the bounce house and get their first look at the Amerks' dance team, "The American Spirit".
Upon entering the arena, the first 10,000 people will take home a Rory Fitzpatrick bobblehead. There are also chances to ride around in bumper boats during the second intermission and to take part in all of the exciting promotions throughout the game.
