Sabres talking with Canisius on a new practice rink?

[Fitzpatrick'sbeard]

The campus newspaper is reporting that the Sabres and Canisius have had
preliminary talks about partnering up for an arena on campus. A facility that
would serve as a home arena
for the Golden Griffins and a training facility for the Sabres. Again,
discussions have happened according to both college and Sabres officials, but
both sides say at this point it is nothing more than that, and they haven't
talked about it since June.


With Canisius looking to bolster its hockey
program and the demand for ice time up around Western New York, many people
beyond campus or at the First Niagara Center are hoping this becomes more than
just talks and dreams.

I may be wrong.. but I think Canisius currently plays at Buffalo states arena. Would be nice for them to get their own

Being a fan of DIII hockey (Go Plattsburgh State!!!) I have been to Buff States rink and it could use a major facelift itself.....

A face lift as in? The ice surface?

I'm thinking more along the lines of seating and the interior look. wooden bleachers are definitely out dated and the whole rink could use a coat of paint....
