The contest will run exclusively through the Amerks Facebook page and fans can submit an unlimited amount of questions under the "Discussions" tab directed to one particular player or one general inquiry to the foursome as a whole. All questions intended for a specific individual must be submitted by the end of the day prior to each scheduled questioning date. Due to a highly anticipated amount of fan interaction, please note that not all questions submitted will be guaranteed to be asked or answered. Fans that do participate and submit questions will be entered into a drawing one time regardless of the amount of questions they ask throughout the contest.

Four winners will be selected from the submissions with each winner taking home a pair of tickets to the Florida Panthers and Boston Bruins NHL Exhibition game set for Thursday, September 23rd at 7:00 p.m. at The Blue Cross Arena. Tickets start as low as $15. A member of the Amerks front office will randomly draw a name from the list of submissions and winners will be notified through their personal Facebook accounts with instructions on how to redeem their prize. Fans can also purchase tickets by calling the Amerks office at (585) 454-5335, stopping by The Blue Cross Arena Box Office, calling Ticketmaster at 1-800-745-3000 or online at Ticketmaster.com.

The Panthers come to town with Honeoye Falls native Marty Reasoner and former longtime Amerks defenseman Nathan Paetsch. The game also marks the return of former Assistant Coach and former Amerk legend Doug Houda and past Amerks winger Daniel Paille, not to mention this year's second overall pick Tyler Seguin.
