The Hockey News Ranks Amerks to be 4th in the West

The Hockey News Ranks Amerks to be 4th in the West

The Hockey News has published it’s preview of the American Hockey League’s 2011/2012 season and the Rochester Americans are ranked 4th in the West and based on those predictions would win the North Division.  The rankings were put together by the D&C’s Kevin Oklobzija.

Thanks to Admirals Roundtable for the rankings.  Looking back at the 2010/2011 rankings Ryan from Admirals Roundtable wrote this:

- The Calder Cup finalists were ranked 16th and 27th overall.
- The division winners were ranked 19th, 3rd, 14th, and 18th.
- Four of their top 10 didn’t make the playoffs (Chicago, Worcester, San Antonio, Grand Rapids)

It’s that time of year where everyone makes predictions just because it’s the thing to do.  Everyone knows (or should know) that a season can change in a matter of weeks due to injuries, call ups, trades and even a group of players not living up to their expectations.

Here’s the rankings:

East (first to last): Hershey Bears, W-B/Scranton Penguins, Portland Pirates, Springfield Falcons, Manchester Monarchs, Syracuse Crunch, Worcester Sharks, Connecticut Whale, Binghamton Senators, Bridgeport Sound Tigers, St John’s Icecaps, Albany Devils, Norfolk Admirals, Providence Bruins, Adirondack Phantoms

West (first to last): Charlotte Checkers, Peoria Rivermen, Chicago Wolves, [...]Read More

Amerks Jersey Ranked 2nd by The Hockey News

August 13, 2009 - By

The Hockey News ranked jerseys last year based on the teams logo, this year they decided to go by patches, striping, and piping to rank the jerseys.  I also need to mention colors as well.

The Amerks were ranked second for a “Classic crest with a clean look to it.”  I’m not quite sure how the Milwaukee Admirals got the top spot.  In a typically boring month for hockey news this is what we get.

Take the time to visit The Hockey News web site to vote for the Rochester Americans jersey as the best in the AHL – http://thehockeynews.com/pages/puck_poll.php

Two teams missing are the Texas Stars and Abbotsford Heat because the teams have not officially launched their jerseys.  To view what was actually said about each jersey click here – http://www.thehockeynews.com/articles/27493-.html.

Here’s the straight rankings:

1. Milwaukee Admirals
2. Rochester Americans
3. San Antonio Rampage
4. Springfield Falcons
5. Manchester Monarchs
6. Worcester Sharks
7. Norfolk Admirals
8. Bridgeport Sound Tigers
9. Peoria Rivermen
10. Chicago Wolves
11. Manitoba Moose
12. Houston Aeros
13. Hershey Bears
14. Toronto Marlies
15. Grand Rapids Griffins

American Hockey League Teams on Twitter

July 9, 2009 - By

As the 2009/2010 season approaches it appears as if the American Hockey League is finally represented within the Twitter universe.

Twitter is a great service for sports fans due to the fact that news can usually be summed up in less than 140 characters leaving out all of the extra fluff that accompanies articles.

If you’re new to Twitter I’m going to list some ways to effectively use the site and follow teams, if you’re just looking for the list of teams scroll down.

By following LetsGoAmerks (and other teams) on Twitter you’ll be able to get live updates about the Rochester Americans with scores, injuries, transactions (call ups and players being signed), game day lineups, media appearances, and much more.  If you scan through the updates I’ve posted I think you’ll notice it’s a all great info.  Also taking a moment to brag, LetsGoAmerks offers the best coverage of any AHL team on Twitter.

Sprukts Hat Trick Sparks Amerks 5-3 Win Over Manchester

January 17, 2009 - By

The Amerks followed up a loss against the Binghamton Senators with a come back 5-3 win over the Manchester Monarchs on Friday night on the road in Manchester.

At the end of the first period the Monarchs had a 2-1 lead along with a 18-4 shot advantage, both goals coming on the power play.  Sprukts had the Amerks only goal in the first period, assisted by Jason Garrison and Drew Larman.

The Monarchs struck early in the second period with a goal scored by Brad Richardson only 57 seconds into the period.  Later in the period Janis Sprukts scored his second of the game assisted by Jason Garrison and Michal Repik to close the gap to one goal.

The third period belonged to the Amerks with three goals scored.  Sprukts got the hat trick with a power play goal assisted by Garrison and David Brine.  Only 46 seconds later Shawn Matthias scored the game winning goal assisted by Mike Duco and Keaton Ellerby.

Kenndal McArdle finished the scoring with an empty net goal with assists going to Sprukts and Garrison.

Mike Brodeur finished the game saving 33 of 36 shots faced, majority of those came in the first period [...]Read More

Amerks Continue Their Losing Streak…Lose To Manchester

November 22, 2008 - By

The Amerks put up a good fight, but couldn’t get past the Manchester Monarchs tonight.  They lost 4-2 to the Manchester Monarchs in a hard fought game.

Chris Beckford-Tseu started the night in goal even though I would have liked to see Shantz in from the beginning.  Chris was pulled in the first period after allowing two goals.  Once Shantz was in net, it was a whole different game.

I am not going to say the first two goals were completely Chris’s fault.  The first goal was scored when Jordan Henry took his 56,723rd hooking penalty of the season.  He was shortly joined in the box by Rory Fitzpatrick when he shot the puck out of the park while in the defensive zone for a delay of game penalty.

I don’t understand why Jordan Henry isn’t being penalized by the team for what he is doing.  He has played in only 8 games and has already gotten 18 penalty minutes.  If these penalties weren’t so stupid, I wouldn’t be so angry about it.  But, they are always hooking penalties (aside from the wonderful cross-checking penalty he took during Wednesday’s game…also brilliant).

Peter Aston could be playing in his spot.  [...]Read More

Gameday 11-21-2008: Amerks vs Manchester Monarchs

November 21, 2008 - By

Tonight the Amerks take on the Manchester Monarchs at 7:35 p.m.  The Monarchs are 4-6-0-3.  They are almost dead last in their division, with only the lol Devils behind them.  Maybe we can squeak out a solid win tonight to move ahead of the Houston Aeros and not be the complete joke of this league.

Chris Beckford-Tseu is getting the start in net tonight.  The game on Wednesday night is “being left behind” by the team, so he’ll get another chance tonight.  It’s apparent he is the goalie the team is still hoping to rely on.

The atmosphere at practice this morning seemed to reflect that of what’s going on everywhere else.  We knew what happened around this time last year effected the players, looks like we’re right back in the same position.  Especially when your boss tells the world you are the problem.

The difference this year though is that Benoit Groulx won’t let the players stop caring or putting in a solid effort, Randy Cunneyworth did last season.

What a bright outlook on the game tonight!  We’re always optimistic about the game, we just need to not committ dumb penaltie, and keep the puck out of our own end.  [...]Read More

The Rochester Americans ended the weekend with a win on Friday against the Manchester Monarchs and a loss against the Providence Bruins on Saturday.

On Friday night they beat the Monarchs by the score of 3-1, Mark Mancari had two goals and one assist, and Drew Larman in his first game back from an injury had a goal and an assist.

Tonight they lost 5-1 with Stefan Meyer scoring the lone goal for the Amerks at 6:27 in the third period on a power play with assists from Mancari and Zagrapan.  The five goals scored by the Providence Bruins came in the second period.  The Amerks were also outshot 35-22.

The Amerks return home next Friday to play against the Toronto Marlies and on Sunday against the Binghamton Senators.

Also, this week you can go to the Original Charbroil House on Thursday December 6th at 6:30pm to see Dylan Hunter and Patrick Kaleta.  They will mingel and sign autographs for about an hour.
