FAIRPORT, NY. – The Rochester Jr. Americans are pumped to announce their 2025-26 Promotional Schedule packed with unique giveaways, exciting theme nights, and thrilling events.
“Our games are quickly building national reputation as an amazing event for the whole family,” Director of Marketing Kyle Cannillo said. “Our goal is simple: we want the best atmosphere in the country for a value that cannot be beat. With $7 tickets and kids in free, there is no doubt we are the most affordable entertainment there is. Hard to beat it.”
The Jr. Amerks will hit the ice on Sept. 12 and Sept. 13 for their opening weekend. Earlier this month, the team announce its monumental promotions including $2 beer, $1 hot dogs, $1 pizza slices, $0.50 cent snacks, rally towels, and magnet schedules. In addition, opening night will feature the team’s East Division Championship banner raising.
This year’s promotional schedule is sure to give fans something to look forward to. In October, the team is excited to give away reusable seat cushions for the first time ever. Other promotions in the most include 80’s night, Oktoberfest, and Halloween Night.
“The action on the ice will be exciting and we want to match that energy in the stands,” Cannillo said. “With promotions built into each game, we hope fans are invested and contribute to an awesome atmosphere.”
The Jr. Amerks will join the rest of the NAHL on Nov. 22 with Military Appreciation Night. Like last season, ALL ticket revenue from the game will be donated to veterans. The team will wear specialty military jerseys. Following the game, fans can bid on the game worn jersey to help raise money for veterans.
“We want to continue being an integral part of this community,” Cannillo said. “Last season we raised over $16,000 for various non-profit organizations. When we support the community, they support us back. It’s a big part of the Jr. Americans DNA.”
The moment you’ve all been waiting for: the Jr. Americans will play their first ever games in the Rochester Ice Center’s brand-new arena on Dec. 19 and Dec. 20. The new rink will accommodate well over 1,400 fans, with seating on both sides. This will be the first of two whiteout games with the other on Feb. 21. Last season, these were two massive regular season games. Fans will be given a free whiteout rally towels upon entrance.
After the new year, girls hockey, first responders, and school staff each get their own appreciation nights. To round out the season, the Jr. Amerks will have their billet/fan appreciation night.
Popular promotions such as $1 hot dog and $1 pizza slices are here to stay as well. They will be sprinkled throughout the season schedule.
That’s just scratching the surface. Single game tickets are on sale now for just $7. Fans have the option to purchase online or at the door on game day.
