Rochester Americans News Release
Rochester, NY- The Rochester Americans announced that the team will be participating in 'Movember' this month by growing mustaches to raise funds and awareness for various men's health issues and cancer initiatives.
Forwards Justin Bailey, Alexander Nylander, Cole Schneider, William Carrier, Matthew Lane, Daniel Muzito-Bagenda and Justin Kea; defensemen Tyson Strachan and Mac Bennett; and goaltender Linus Ullmark are among the players who will be donating their upper lips for the cause, and their 'Mo' progressions will be tracked through photos every week throughout the month on Amerks social media channels.
"The whole emphasis of 'Movember' is bringing in awareness, so for us to grow a mustache for a great cause, it's something that's easy, can help raise funds, and it's fun," said Strachan after his Movember shave-down.
