Rochester RazorSharks News Release


(Rochester, N.Y.)Å The Rochester RazorSharks of the American Basketball Association are in first-place on the court as well as off the court. The RazorSharks, who lead the Connie Hawkins Division with an 18-3 record, are averaging 3,031 through their first 12 home games at The Blue Cross Arena in downtown Rochester, New York.

"We are incredibly excited by the team's performance on the court," Said RazorSharks Chief Operating Officer and General Manager Orest Hrywnak. "Our fan support has also been tremendous, from opening night, through the holidays and now into the final two months of the season. We look forward to our last six games of the regular season and showing the sports fans of Rochester our top-notch team."

The ABA expansion franchise is averaging 4,143 fans per game on the weekends and holidays while weeknight games are averaging 2,325. "We recognize that the ABA is a weekend league for the fans, who find it convenient to attend on Saturdays and Sundays," said Hrywnak. "Weekend afternoon games have been a nice start time for us. We will continue to work with The Blue Cross Arena on prime dates for this year's playoffs and the 2006-2007 season."

The RazorSharks return home this Sunday afternoon, February 5 for a 2:05 p.m. tip-off at The Blue Cross Arena against the Harlem Strong Dogs.
