Sabres' Training Facility Naming Rights Set For Formal Unveiling

Pegula Sports & Entertainment today will formally unveil a 10-year deal for naming rights to the Sabres’ training facility with Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine. Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed for the deal, which will title the facility LECOM Harborcenter. PSE President & CEO Kim Pegula will be on hand for the unveiling, along with Dr. Silvia Ferretti, LECOM’s Provost, Senior VP & Dean of Academic Affairs. They also will announce a significant scholarship initiative. The Sabres will continue to present the LECOM Student All-Stars Program, LECOM T-Shirt Toss and LECOM Student Value Ticket, which allows students from Buffalo schools to purchase 300-level seats for as low as $20.

The BUFFALO NEWS earlier this month reported the LECOM logo "already was on the ice on a rink at the complex," with more signage to be "installed inside and outside the facility."
