ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WHEC) From 1979-2004 Sonny Zamites was better known as “The Moose.” Everybody in Rochester knows Sonny the Moose,” said Zamites. “Ask any of my friends what s my real name … ‘oh I don t know I just know him as Sonny the Moose’.
Zamites created the Rochester Amerks beloved Moose mascot and spent 25 years “in the fur,” as the saying goes. He was in costume at more than 2,000 games, including when the Amerks won the Calder Cup Championship against the Portland Pirates at the Blue Cross Arena in 1996.
When the Amerks took the cup, Zamites got a championship ring along with the players. In August of last year, Zamites was traveling from his home in Florida to Rochester for the Amerks Alumni Golf Tournament. Somewhere in his travels, the ring disappeared.
