Amerks Announce Clear Day Roster

March 12, 2009 - By

On Thursday afternoon the Rochester Americans announce their 22 man clear day roster for the remainder of the 08/09 regular season.  It’s yet another sign that the season is quickly coming to a close.  It’s sad that hockey season is winding down, but exciting to REALLY start looking forward to next season.  That’s a whole other topic.

No surprises with the Amerks lineup.  If the team had any plans of making the playoffs this would be a lot more interesting.

Here’s the roster:

Mike Brodeur and Tyler Plante; defensemen Michael Caruso, Jason Garrison, Rory Fitzpatrick, Keaton Ellerby, Jordan Henry, Peter Aston, Franklin MacDonald, and forwards Janis Sprukts, Drew Larman, Stefan Meyer, Michael Duco, Tanner Glass, Dan Collins, Karl Stewart, Shawn Matthias, Kenndal McArdle, Michal Repik, David Brine, Randall Gelech and Riley Emmerson. Forwards Jarret Lukin, Kyle Hagel, Andrew Sweetland, Judd Blackwater and Jacob Micflikier currently remain in residence.

The rest of the AHL also announced their rosters as well.

Jordan Henry Wins Game with 30 Seconds Remaining

The Rochester Americans worked hard on Sunday and it paid off with a victory on Sunday night against the Binghamton Senators.  Jordan Henry scored the game winning goal with 30 seconds remaining to give the Amerks a 3-2 win.  Tyler Plante had the following to say about the goal, “Jordan Henry looked so graceful for a second I thought he took the form of an Angel.”  Yes folks, that is a real quote!

Marc Cavosie went to the penalty box at 1:33 of the first period for tripping giving the Amerks their first of only three power play opportunities in the entire game.  The Amerks did a decent job at passing the puck with the man advantage, but that’s about all they did.  They weren’t able to get any real scoring chances, but they controlled the puck.  Binghamton didn’t record their first good shot on goal until seven minutes into the game.

Riley Emmerson and Matt Carkner dropped the mitts at 5:29 of the first period for a decent fight.  Emmerson was the winner in this one with a great quick right square in the face of Carkner.  Sorry, no video of this one (at least by us).

We have a lot to catch up on with the Rochester Americans over the past week so we’re going to get everyone up to speed in one post, in case you have not been paying attention.  We spent our week improving the offices of Lets Go Amerks and a night out at the Cystic Fibrosis dinner.

Here we go…

* Starting with last Sunday, the Toronto Marlies defeated the Amerks by the final score of 6-2.  The Marlies were beat 3-1 the day before by the Amerks in Toronto, so the Marlies came out angry and never let up.  Game Summary
