Now, to reiterate this is not a definitive list of who we’ll see in Rochester at any point in the season. This is just a potential break down as to who we can possibly see with the Amerks going into the 2022-23 campaign. More details will be available in the coming days, and weeks, as we near the beginning of both team’s respective seasons.
Looking ahead, Buffalo's first preseason game is scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 25 at 2 p.m. on the road against the Washington Capitals.
Rochester will open its training camp at Blue Cross Arena the week leading up to both preseason games, though details will be announced at a later date. The Amerks have two preseason games scheduled: the only home matchup is slated for Sunday, Oct. 9 at 5:00 p.m. against the Utica Comets. Tickets for the game start at just $12 and are on sale now. Amerks Season Ticket Members can claim up to four (4) free tickets as an exclusive Season Ticket Member benefit.
