With their new playground at Frontier Field, the Wings could be batting a thousand for years to come. A new era is under way. The Amerks have been making long winters more palatable for more than four decades. They've won six Calder Cups as league champs. The action is fast-paced and occasionally rough.
Pucks fly, and sometimes fists do, too.
And there are plenty of bells and whistles at Amerks games. Sirens blare when the home team scores. Fans are entertained by the Amerks Moose mascot and by a superfan known as Pincy, a chubby school bus driver who waves a huge American flag and dances in the style of Pee-Wee Herman to the strains of Tequila. Virtually every seat is a good one. You're close enough to the action to count nose hairs.
