(Rochester, NY) – The Rochester Americans announced that team will hold its annual “Pucks and Paws Night” on Sunday, March 26 when the Amerks host the Springfield Thunderbirds in a 3:05 p.m. game at The Blue Cross Arena.
For the fifth straight year, fans are invited to bring their dogs to the game as the Amerks take on the Thunderbirds. Tickets for dog owners can be purchased for $20 along with a $5 cash donation to Lollypop Farm at the door. The first 200 dogs in attendance will receive a free Amerks Pucks & Paws Dog Bowl. A portion of the proceeds from the Pucks & Paws Game will be donated to Lollypop Farm, which serves as the Humane Society of Greater Rochester and is committed to building lifelong bonds between people and animals through education, community outreach programs and the prevention of cruelty.
All fans with dogs in attendance at the Pucks & Paws Game will be seated in one of two dedicated sections for dogs known as “The Slobber Box” (211 – 213), as dogs will not be permitted in other sections. Fans will be limited to bringing just one dog per person to the game.
Pucks & Paws tickets are available by visiting www.amerks.com/paws, where fans can also upload a photo of their dog to be displayed on the video board during the game, which will feature plenty of canine-friendly themed events, including a “Pooch Parade” on the ice during intermission for a limited number of dogs. Informational tables will be set up on the concourse during the game for Lollypop Farm and other Rochester area dog-related agencies.
