Locted near the corner of Broadway and Michigan this building currently is a garage for City of Buffalo snow plows etc. When it was an auditorium, the Griffs did play basketball there. It's a building that is ready for demolition. I don't believe this is the answer for CC. I would prefer to see improvement made to the KAC, and Demske Center. With the present financial condition at Canisius, unless somebody with big bucks appears, a campus bldg to accommodate both basketball and hockey is not feasible. Go Griffs !!! By the way, Cornell recently had their annual giving, and athletic alone raised 5 mil.

How do you figure that Canisius College has a terrific hockey set up? We don’t own Habor Center and it isn’t visible from the street it isn’t even on the first floor it’s not a terrific set up. There is no free parking in a city that is fleecing fans for parking. Even for the Buffalo Sabres practices the arena is poorly designed inside a hotel isn’t great. Look at Vegas Golden Knights practice arena facility Dollar Loans Center in Henderson, Nevada a suburb of Las Vegas. Harbor Center is poorly designed for Canisius College hockey to be anything more than they are now this season was the ceiling for Griffs hockey. If Canisius College wants a National Championship college hockey program they need there own facility of at least 5,000 seats visible from the street not on the 8th or 9th floor that is horrible set up for anything more than a 1,000 fans friends and family type of thing in my opinion. Go Griffs! Let’s Go Buffalo

The hockey lease is super cheap. Why own when you can lease.

The NHL also holds their combine there so it must mot be too bad.

The school isn't in a position to build anything.

Please read the above sentence again several times so you can grasp the concept that we've not going to build anything.

If you have an appreciation for the school / sports programs at least make suggestions which are reasonable based on reality & what's going on with their finances vs. this wishing / hoping.

Go Griffs!
