    AMERKS DAILY PRESS CLIPS W ednesday, April 21, 2021 Amerks Sign Haw kins To Professional Tryout By Staff Report Amerks.com The Rochester Americans announced today that the team has signed forward Brandon Hawkins to a Professional Tryout (PTO). Hawkins, 26, joins the Amerks after registering 19 goals and 12 assists for 31 points in 28 games with the Fort Wayne Komets (ECHL) to begin the 2020-21 season. The 5-foot-10, 198-pound forward currently paces all Komets skaters in both goals and points in addition to leading the ECHL with 10 power-play tallies. As a rookie during the 2019-20 campaign, Hawkins totaled 34 points (16+18) over 53 combined games between the Wilkes- Barre/Scranton Penguins and Wheeling Nailers (ECHL) before the season was cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

  • Rick Barry 5 Apr 2017
    Rick Barry 5 Apr 2017 254-2017-10 I’m writing this article the week before the 2017 NCAA Men’s Basketball Final Four. It should be an exciting weekend with all three Final Four games taking place in Glendale, Ariz., at University of Phoenix Stadium. Here’s the schedule for the Final Four games: Semifinals (Saturday, April 1) South Carolina vs. Gonzaga Oregon vs. North Carolina National championship (Monday, April 3) Semifinal winners On Sunday, 26 March, I was watching the South Carolina – Florida game on TV and they showed Rick Barry and his wife Lynn in the audience. They said he was there to watch his son Canyon, who plays for Florida. Well, I didn’t know he had a fifth son and I also thought Rick Barry was too old to have a son in college. He is almost as old as me and my youngest son finished college in the mid-1990s. More about Canyon later but this sparked my interest in Rick Barry’s career and his personal life. Lynn, Canyon, and Rick Barry Here is Rick Barry’s BIO Full Name: Richard Francis Dennis Barry III Born: 3/28/44 in Elizabeth, N.J. High School: Roselle Park (N.J.) College: Miami (Fla.)

  • The Rochester Royals' Maurice Stokes
    ROCHESTER HISTORY The Rochester Royals’ Maurice Stokes: Kodak City’s (and the NBA’s) First Black Basketball Star By Pat Farabaugh Vol. 76 Spring 2014 No. 1 A Publication of the Central Library of Rochester and Monroe County The Twyman-Stokes award recognizes the NBA player deemed “the best teammate based on selfless play, on and off-court leadership as a mentor and role model to other NBA players, and commitment and dedication to his team.” The award was created and named in recognition of the inspiring friendship of former Rochester Royals teammates Maurice Stokes and Jack Twyman. From the National Basketball Association. Front Cover: During his playing career in Rochester, Stokes emerged as the first African-American star player in the National Basketball League. He also played during an era charged with lingering racial prejudice as American athletics slowly turned towards desegregation. Democrat & Chronicle File Photograph.
