The Amerks are back with another read of the Reading Power Play at local libraries through January.  If you have school age kids you’ll want to schedule some of these to give them the chance to hang out with The Moose, an Amerks player and of course enjoy some reading.  The second half of the Reading Power Play gives kids a chance to win a grand prize for every three books they read.  Travis Turnbull made the first appearance on Tuesday night, keep an eye on twitter.com/AmerksHockey or the Amerks Facebook Page to find out who the player will be the day of an appearance.  Read on for more information..
