Practice 10-30-2008
The team is working in smaller groups today. Right now half the team is sitting on the bench while the other half practices puck movement. It is very informative. They are really getting some good passing and scoring going on. Kenndal McArdle, once again, can stick the puck anywhere he wants to in the net. …

The Florida Panthers have signed defensemen Jassen Cullimore to a one year deal. He’ll be taking the spot of Cory Murphy who is going to be out for a while with a shoulder injury. Considering the way our Amerks defense has played so far this season, we can’t afford to lose our top defensemen Jason …

Amerks' Practice 10-28-2008
I was hoping to see a really tough practice today after Saturday and Sunday’s games (and even Friday’s, it wasn’t a beautiful win). And that is exactly what I am seeing. Coach Benoit is not messing around today…not that he ever messes around. During the first drill we are here for there are people still …

Amerks Lose Second Straight On The Road. 8-3
The Bears and Amerks were supposed to renew their rivalry tonight in Hershey. And if they did, the Bears came out on top big time. I really don’t even have words to show my dissapointment in tonight’s game. I would like it if Curt Styres or someone from the Amerks would give me back my …

Jason Garrison Rejoining Amerks in Hershey
Jason Garrison flew to St Louis where he played with the Florida Panthers on Saturday night, and is flying back on Sunday to rejoin the Amerks in Hershey when they play the Bears. If the Panthers injury problems continue he could be well on his way to accumulating the most frequent flyer miles this season.
If You Can't Beat 'Em, Beat 'Em…Amerks Lose 6-1 To The Crunch
The Rochester Americans lost tonight to the Syracuse Crunch in a sad 6-1 final score. This, of course, is better than last year on the Crunch’s “Pink Out” night when the Amerks were creamed 9-2. Emmerson made his AHL debut tonight and did a good job. But, more on that later. The first period started …
