About Me

This site was started by a die-hard Sabres fan. The site hopes to continue to grow as each day comes along. Be sure to post opinions in blogs, post photos in comments, or even send fan pictures of yourself to have it uploaded into the Sabres Fans photo album. This site is used to show support for the Buffalo Sabres team during the season, during the playoff runs, and whenever they need it most. This site is not for those who like the team one season, but for those die-hard fans. The site will be updated as much as possible. Untill then, here is the history of the Sabres.
The Buffalo Sabres, along with the Vancouver Canucks, joined the NHL in the 1970-71 season. The Sabres' first owners were Seymour and Northrup Knox, scions of a family long prominent in Western New York. The team's name was chosen using a fan contest. The Knoxes had tried twice before to get an NHL team, first when the NHL expanded in 1967, and then unsuccessfully attempting to buy the Oakland Seals with the intent of moving them to Buffalo. At the time of their creation, the Buffalo Sabres exercised their option to create their own AHL farm team, the Cincinnati Swords. Buffalo had long been a hotbed for hockey, with the Buffalo Bisons being one of the pillars of the American Hockey League, winning the Calder Cup in their final year before yielding to the Sabres.
