When the Amerks entered the American Hockey League in the fall of 1956 they were the joint affiliate of both the Montreal Canadiens and the Toronto Maple Leafs of the National Hockey League. Under Coach Billy Reay the first-year team finished in third place in the AHL standings and played the defending champion Providence Reds in the opening round of the Calder Cup playoffs. With Amerks' goalie Bobby Perreault leading the way the Americans defeated Providence and goaltender Johnny Bower in five games.

The Amerks would reach the playoffs in 1959 only to lose to the Buffalo Bisons in five games. The 1959 Amerks were led by the "WHAM" line composed of center Rudy Migay, left wing Gary Aldcorn and right wing Billy Hicke. Migay and Hicke were named co-MVP for the AHL that season and Hicke was chosen league Rookie of the Year.

In 1959-60 the Americans became the first team in American Hockey League history to win a playoff series after trailing three-games-to-none. The Amerks' comeback against the Cleveland Barons was led by the efforts of the veteran Migay, right wing Pat Hannigan and league-leading goaltender Ed Chadwick. A crowd of 7,762 at the War Memorial witnessed a 4-1 triumph in Game 7. Rochester would then go on to lose the Calder Cup Finals in five games to Eddie Shore's Springfield Indians.

Following the 1960-61 season in which the Amerks failed to qualify for the playoffs the Montreal Canadiens transferred their working agreement to the Quebec Aces of the American Hockey League and sent Rochester players Guy Rousseau and Claude Labrosse to the Quebec capital. Now the exclusive affiliate of the Toronto Maple Leafs the Americans made the playoffs the next two seasons but due to heavy roster turnovers were never serious contenders for the Calder Cup championship. The Quebec Aces are a defunct ice hockey franchise from Quebec, Quebec that played in the Quebec Senior Hockey League (1944-1953), Quebec Hockey League (1953-59) and American Hockey League (1959-71). ...

Beginning in 1963-64 former Amerks' defenseman Joe Crozier became the team's Coach and General Manager.

The Calder Cup is awarded annually to the playoff champion of the American Hockey League. ...

In 1965-66 the Amerks were forced out of the War Memorial arena for their final 10 regular season home games plus the playoffs. The reason was that Rochester was hosting the 1966 finals of the American Bowling Congress tournament which took over the War Memorial for two months. The Americans then moved their home games 180 miles to Toronto's Maple Leaf Gardens. All of Rochester's remaining home games and playoff games were thus moved to Toronto with the exception of one playoff game. Crozier booked Buffalo's Memorial Auditorium for one game in the Calder Cup Finals. Exterior signage as of 2006, with letters missing Maple Leaf Gardens was an indoor arena in Toronto, on the northwest corner of Carlton Street and Church Street. ...

The expansion era

When the National Hockey League expanded from six to twelve teams for the 1967-68 NHL season the Amerks lost several of the above-mentioned players. Arbour (St. Louis), Ehman (Oakland), Boyer (Oakland), Horvath (Minnesota) and Rupp (Pittsburgh) were all drafted by the new NHL teams. Pappin was promoted to the Maple Leafs. Smrke retired. The 1967-68 NHL season was the 51st regular season of the National Hockey League (NHL). ...

With the core of the team now gone the Amerks struggled throughout the early part of the '67-'68 AHL season. With the team in last place Crozier decided to try and turn the team's fortunes around. Just before Christmas Crozier made a blockbuster deal with the expansion Minnesota North Stars. In exchange for forwards Jean Paul Parise and Milan Marcetta the Amerks received Ted Taylor, Len Lunde, George "Duke" Harris, Murray Hall, Don Johns and the rights to Horvath. The return of Horvath marked his fourth tour of duty with the Amerks since 1956-57.

With their ranks bolstered by proven AHL veterans the Amerks began climbing up in the standings and by mid-March had the best record in the American Hockey League. The regular-season champion Amerks then defeated the Hershey Bears 4 games to 1 in the playoff semi-finals and the Quebec Aces 4 games to 2 in the Calder Cup finals. The Amerks won the final game 4-2 before a crowd of 11,711 at Le Colisee de Quebec. ColisÃ©e Pepsi (English: Pepsi Coliseum; formerly the ColisÃ©e de QuÃ©bec -- Quebec (City) Coliseum) is a multi-purpose indoor arena in Quebec City, Quebec. ...

In the summer of 1968 the team was sold to Vancouver interests who hoped to establish the Amerks as their farm team for the expansion Vancouver Canucks of the National Hockey League. The Vancouver-Rochester arrangement never worked out. With the majority of the Rochester players transferred to Vancouver of the Western Professional Hockey League the minor league Canucks won the 1968-69 and 1969-70 WPHL Patrick Cup Championships while the Amerks finished in last place each year. The Vancouver Canucks are a professional ice hockey team based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. ... The Western Professional Hockey League (abbreviated WPHL) was a minor league in ice hockey in the United States from 1996 to 2001, with teams in the Southern United States, mainly Texas. ...

After four straight losing years the Vancouver NHL team was prepared to either sell or fold the Rochester team. In the summer of 1972 a group of Rochester businessmen stepped forward and decided to save the Amerks and bought the franchise from Vancouver. Their first act was to name Amerks defenseman Don Cherry as Coach/General Manager. Playing the next two seasons as an independent club with a make-shift roster the Amerks made the playoffs in 1972-73 and were the regular season AHL champions in 1973-74. Don Cherry is the name of more than one notable person. ...

The Boston Bruins were so impressed with the job Cherry had done in resurrecting the Amerks they hired him as their coach in 1974-75 and became the Amerks' parent team the same year. They are currently affiliated with the nearby Buffalo Sabres, and the distantly south Florida Panthers. The team colors are, naturally, red, white and blue. The logo is a patriotic badge with "Americans" written in script. The Americans won the Calder Cup in 1965, 1966, 1968, 1983, 1987, and 1996. They have appeared in the Finals and lost in 1957, 1960, 1967, 1977, 1984, 1990, 1991, 1993, 1999, and 2000. Their close-knit relationship with the Sabres brought attention to Rochester in November of 2003, when the Sabres and the New Jersey Devils played in first-ever NHL regular-season game in Rochester. In the 2003-04 season, the Americans came close to the Calder Cup, but were beaten 4-1 by the Milwaukee Admirals in the Western Conference final.

The Rochester Americans have retired only two sweater numbers in their history. The first was No. 6 in honor of Norm "Red" Armstrong following his death from a fall in a construction accident in 1974 at age 35. Number 9 was later retired in honor of Dick Gamble and Jody Gage. Gage broke Gamble's team scoring records with the Amerks during his long tenure with the team. Gage currently serves as the Amerks' General Manager.
