(Rochester, NY)...Rochester Americans General Manager Jody Gage announced today that forward Jacob Micflikier has been reassigned to the Florida Everblades. Micflikier heads to Florida after appearing in all three preseason games with the Amerks, recording a goal on October 2nd against the Syracuse Crunch.
The Amerks will open their 53rd AHL season on Friday, October 10th at 7:35 p.m. against the Syracuse Crunch at The Blue Cross Arena at the Rochester War Memorial. Rochester enters the season as the sole affiliate of the National Hockey League's Florida Panthers. The Amerks announced a three-year deal with the Panthers on June 19, 2008.
Opening Night will start with a bang, as Shane Yellowbird and The Skycoasters will 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 mini 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.
