SOME PERSONAL NEWS:
Sunday is my last day @13WHAM and @FoxRochester. After 4 1/2 years at WHAM and over 5 years in TV News, I am taking a break from the News business. I want to thank everyone who I met in the Rochester Community these past few years. Stay tuned for what's next!!

[Ben Vahey @Ben_Vahey]

Well I’m headed to bed. Carolina and Vegas can battle it out all night. But I’m going to sleep.

[Ben Vahey @Ben_Vahey]

Crazy how this game is going into Overtime. This is what playoff hockey is all about!!!! #StanleyCup

[Ben Vahey @Ben_Vahey]

This is so crazy. @GoldenKnights go up 4-0 and @Canes come back to tie it 4-4 in the @NHL Stanley Cup Final Game 3 @TMobileArena in Las Vegas.

[Ben Vahey @Ben_Vahey]

Wow WHAT A GAME IN LAS VEGAS!!! This Stanley Cup Final Game 3 has been so crazy.

[Ben Vahey @Ben_Vahey]

Wow Carolina @canes are coming back.

[Ben Vahey @Ben_Vahey]

Hattrick for Mitch Marner.

[Ben Vahey @Ben_Vahey]

The @GoldenKnights are waking up. Their Goal horn has gone off five times tonight and it looks like three of the goals at least counted.

[Ben Vahey @Ben_Vahey]

WOW TWO @GoldenKnights goals waived off by @canes challenges and @NHL Officials and the replay room in Toronto getting the calls right. So the goal horn may go off twice, but then it’s still 0-0.

[Ben Vahey @Ben_Vahey]

These NHL Coaches challenges have been something the whole Stanley Cup playoffs.

[Ben Vahey @Ben_Vahey]

Also a beautiful night for some post-game fireworks. It may not be entirely summer season yet, but it’s starting to feel like it. @RocRedWings

[Ben Vahey @Ben_Vahey]

Good win for @RocRedWings on a beautiful Saturday night beating the @SyracuseMets 5-3. It was a gorgeous night for baseball and I’m sure Rochester will be ready to #ROCTheSummer at ESL Ballpark!

[Ben Vahey @Ben_Vahey]

@joey_frascati So cool! And if it came from @MCO that’s awesome! Orlando and NYC are two places I love to get away to. And, that is awesome to salute the @FDNY for all they do in New York City!

@sfj8888 This was the lemon Oreo that I had tonight.

[Ben Vahey @Ben_Vahey]

Nice night for some ice cream.

[Ben Vahey @Ben_Vahey]

@gailmariehs Actually, that is lemon Oreo. Pittsford Farms dairy’s second location on Park Avenue in Rochester.

[Ben Vahey @Ben_Vahey]

@sfj8888 Pittsford Farms Dairy on Park Avenue in Rochester! Definitely worth checking out on a hot night!

What a season it was for @BuffaloSabres. The 2025-2026 season will be one that will be talked about for years. Hold your heads, high Buffalo. It will be October before we know it!!!

[Buffalo Sabres @BuffaloSabres]

[Ben Vahey @Ben_Vahey]

@klubanski13 @NHLBruins @Brockport @NHL @KeyBankCtr @CanadiensMTL And of course, regular season run in the 2025-2026 season that led them to the postseason.

[Ben Vahey @Ben_Vahey]

What a memorable season it was for @BuffaloSabres. They played hard, ended their 14 year playoff drought, and won a playoff series. It was a pleasure that I got to be at two @NHL playoff games that I never thought I would attend. Hold your heads high Buffalo.

[Ben Vahey @Ben_Vahey]

@klubanski13 @NHLBruins @Brockport @NHL @KeyBankCtr And then of course, I was able to make Game 2 of the series vs. @CanadiensMTL in Buffalo last week. I never thought the Sabres would have made the playoffs at the beginning of the year and it was awesome to be able to go to two of the playoff games in 2026.
