Rochester Americans News Release


(Rochester, NY)... Rochester Americans defenseman Paul Baier will continue the Amerks Reading Power Play tonight at 6:30 p.m. at the Fairport Public Library (1 Fairport Village Landing). The third-year blueliner returns to the Amerks, where he made his professional debut in 2007-08. The program is currently in its sixth straight season, and is brought to you exclusively by Wendy's.

Baier and the Amerks will hit the ice again on Saturday, October 23rd as the Grand Rapids Griffins make their way to The Blue Cross Arena. For more details or to order tickets, please call the Amerks office at (585) 454-5335.

Tonight, however, Baier 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.
