Face Off: Griffs Ready to Take Ice at HARBORCENTER

October 17, 2014

Buffalo, NY - The Canisius hockey team debuts its new home at HARBORCENTER on October 31, when the Golden Griffins face off against Ohio State.

As the primary tenant of the $172 million hockey and entertainment complex, Canisius will play all its home games on HARBORCENTER’s feature rink, which holds a capacity crowd of 1,800. The state-of-the-art complex also serves as the program’s full-time practice facility, gives the Griffs access to the center’s high-performance training center and houses the team’s permanent locker room, which includes a student-athlete lounge, a coaches’ suite and the team’s athletic training facility. The $250,000 space has been made possible by the generous support of Blue and Gold Fund members Martin J. Berardi ’80; John A. Christiano ’57; Nelson D. Civello ’67; Cory D. Conacher ’11; Mark J. Grundtisch (Holiday Twin Rinks); The Knee Center of Western New York; The NOCO Foundation; and Towne Automotive Group.
