Amerks Reading Power Play Continues Tonight
Published on November 8, 2010 under American Hockey League (AHL)
Rochester Americans News Release
(Rochester, NY)... Rochester Americans defenseman Clay Wilson will continue the Amerks "Reading Power Play" tonight at 6:30 p.m. at the West Irondequoit Fairport Public Library (45 Cooper Road). The veteran is in his second season with the Amerks. The program is currently in its sixth straight season, and is brought to you exclusively by Wendy's.
Wilson and the Amerks will hit the ice again on Wednesday, November 10th as they take on the Binghamton Senators at Broome County Veterans Memorial Arena. Tonight, however, Wilson will showcase his reading prowess, not his on-ice skills. He will be joined by The Moose, as they teach kids about hockey and the importance of reading. The program also rewards kids for reading and selects two grand-prize winners that will win dinner, suite tickets and the opportunity to participate in the ceremonial puck drop prior to Rochester's home game on Sunday, February 13th against the Grand Rapids Griffins. For more details, go to Amerks.com.
The Amerks will also distribute ticket vouchers to each youth in attendance good for one complimentary ticket for any Amerks home game. Additional discounted tickets in the 200-Ends can also be purchased for as little as $10.00 with the opportunity to upgrade to another section of choice.
The "Reading Power Play" involves players stopping by local libraries, reading to kids and giving a hockey demonstration. Each appearance also features a raffle for Amerk memorabilia and an autograph session by the visiting player and The Moose.
The second half of "Reading Power Play" enters kids into a grand-prize drawing. Using a hat trick as a thematic vehicle, youth participants fill out a form for every three books they read, which then qualifies them for an entry into the grand prize drawing.
The "Reading Power Play" runs from Thursday, October 14th to Tuesday, January 25th. A complete reading program schedule will be available at the Amerks Guest Services Booth in the upper atrium lobby on game nights and online at amerks.com. For player or Moose appearances, please contact Warren Kosel at (585) 454-5335, ext. 3025.
