LGR4GM Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 (edited) Quote U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has denied an immigrant alien worker petition for Edward Anthony Gannon, a native of the United Kingdom who was hired as the team’s strength and conditioning coach in 2015. On Tuesday, Gannon and the Sabres’ owners (formally known as Hockey Western New York, LLC) filed a suit in U.S. District Court against federal immigration officials for wrongly denying the application. https://theathletic.com/1825510/2020/05/20/sabres-file-suit-against-immigration-officials-in-support-of-team-strength-coach/ Basically the coach is from the UK and apparently got his visa denied. The Pegulas investment in strength and conditioning has been impressive. The facility they built is very nice and I think a reason the Bills were able to stay healthy last year. This coach specifically works with the Sabres. Edited May 20, 2020 by LGR4GM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PASabreFan Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 There are public databases where one can see to whom folks give their money. Yes, it could be a good discussion, but it's not wanted on this board, even when a certain subject clearly enters our sporting world. I've already said too much.

I don’t see how being against illegal immigration and the possible irreversible cultural shift caused by a mass influx of non-English speaking people can be truly equated to challenging a visa denial on a person with professional skills.

Though it certainly tells me they still have a lot of work to do with immigration policy. We are a melting pot but currently someone decided to dump an entire shaker of Central American spices into the pot and we need a bigger spoon to stir it. ?

Scottysabres Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 Same thing happened to my companies electrical engineer, he's been here 5 years from England. Last month he was denied, went the same route as the Pegulas and got renewed. Not sure if it's the same circumstances, but the owner told us it was 10 minu5es in court and done.
