Sabres, Canisius discussing partnership to build hockey arena on campus

 

Between the rich wood of the conference table and the leather upholstery of the 14 large chairs that surround it, the President's Boardroom even has the scent of somewhere important meetings should take place, as if the name alone didn't do it justice.

 

This room, sitting next to President John Hurley's office, is surely the place Canisius would bring guests it wants to impress. As of late, those guests have included members of the Buffalo Sabres front office.

 

Talks continue to develop between Canisius College and the Buffalo Sabres regarding the possibility of building an ice rink on campus that would double as a Sabres practice facility. Athletic Director Bill Maher expects discussions – which have included members of Sabres management as high up as team president Ted Black – to pick up speed as the team opens training camp this weekend.

 

"I think we're closer to having a solid discussion," Maher said, choosing his words carefully. "[Front office personnel] left for the summer, during the draft there was some activity because a lot of folks were in town, and then it's kind of shut down for a little while.
