Rochester Americans News Release
(Rochester, NY)... The two oldest teams in the American Hockey League will usher in the 2010-11 season as the Rochester Americans and the Hershey Bears participate in the historic kick off to the AHL's 75th anniversary season. The Amerks will open their 55th season against their longtime rival on Sunday, October 10th at The Blue Cross Arena.
Rochester will also travel to Hershey to play the Bears on Saturday, October 16th. The games are part of a special set of home-and-home series featuring the AHL's six senior-most cities. The league's 75th season will kick off on Friday, October 8th.
Along with the Hershey Bears and Rochester Americans series, the Providence Bruins will take on the Springfield Falcons and the Lake Erie Monsters will square off against the Syracuse Crunch.
