Rochester Americans News Release


(Rochester, NY) - The Rochester Americans announced today the team is hosting Hockey Fights Cancer Night, presented by Cancer Support Community at Gilda's Club, on Friday, Nov. 18 when the Amerks host the Utica Comets at The Blue Cross Arena.

The night is part of a league-wide campaign spearheaded by the National Hockey League, National Hockey League Players' Association and the American Hockey League designed to unite the hockey community in support of people affected by cancer.

"Cancer Support Community at Gilda's Club is proud to partner with the Rochester Americans in the fight against cancer and have them as part of our team," said James Love, Chief Executive Officer. "Supportive teamwork is what it's about. It's so important that anyone dealing with cancer know they're not alone and that there are social and emotional support networks available to help them at Cancer Support Community."

The Amerks, who are one of 17 AHL clubs supporting the initiative, will wear special lavender-colored jerseys that will be auctioned off to benefit Cancer Support Community at Gilda's Club. Lavender, the official color of Hockey Fights Cancer, represents all forms of cancer.

The online auction, powered by DASH, a sport-focused online auction platform and partner of the Amerks, will be open for bidding beginning on Monday, Nov. 14 and will run through 10:00 p.m. the night of the game. Winners will be contacted directly.
