The 2024–25 Rochester Americans season is the 69th season of play for the Amerks in the American Hockey League (AHL), the 43rd as the primary affiliate of the Buffalo Sabres,^[3] and the first with new head coach, Michael Leone.

The Amerks clinched a playoff spot in the Calder Cup Playoffs after a 4–2 win over the Springfield Thunderbirds on April 2, 2025, making this their 50th postseason appearance in franchise history.^[4]^[5]

In the North Division semifinals round of the playoffs, the Amerks would sweep the Syracuse Crunch, with two straight shutouts to close the series, marking their best postseason performance since the 2022-23 AHL season, ^[6] however they lost Game 7 to the Laval Rocket in the North Division finals to end their season.

Background

On May 13, 2024, the Amerks former head coach, Seth Appert, was promoted to assistant head coach of the Buffalo Sabres,^[7] alongside Amir Gulati, the former video coordinator.^[8]

Michael Leone, the former Green Bay Gamblers head coach, was officially hired as the new head coach of the Rochester Amerks on June 6, 2024, making him the 34th head coach in Amerks history.^[9]

Kent Weisbeck, the former athletic trainer for the Rochester Americans, officially retired on September 10, 2024 after four decades of work for the Amerks.^[10]

Due to the list of changes above, several people were officially promoted and hired to the Hockey Operations Department for the Rochester Americans on September 23, 2024.^[11]

Schedule and results

The AHL season schedule was revealed on July 11, 2024, with the Amerks season beginning on October 11, 2024, and ending on April 19, 2025.^[12]
