Monday January 21st the Rochester Americans held a Hometown Heroes game.  During the game the Amerks players wore West Webster patches on their jerseys to honor the fallen and injured firefighters from the Christmas Eve incident.  During the pregame ceremonies members from West Webster, Webster, and Spencerport Fire Departments as well as family members from Tomaszs’ family presented the American Flag during the national anthem.  The Amerks won the game 6-3 and that game was followed up by an RPD vs RFD game which was won by RPD 13-6.  The Amerks are auctioning off game worn jerseys with the West Webster patch on their website.
