Hockey, AKA Ice Hockey, is a popular outdoor and indoor sport in the Buffalo region; both for those that like to play it and those that just love to watch!!!
Buffalo is home to the Buffalo Sabres, a National Hockey League (NHL) team, and several college and youth hockey teams
We are also VERY CLOSE to Canada, two Great Lakes and lots of cold weather. What could be a more appropriate sport !!!
