For nearly 30 years, the Buffalo Sabres and the Rochester Amerks have been partnered together. Most of the Sabres’ talent has come from the Amerks, and there is no better place for extra conditioning and training. However, Tom Golisano, owner of the Buffalo Sabres, spoke today about how the unbreakable relationship may be coming to an end. The Democrat and Chronicle carried news of possibly cutting the ties. Reasons for the relationship breakdown include financial instability for the Amerks, as well as ambiguous interests in purchasing the team. From the accounts available, one might assume that the parties involved are just acting immaturely. It seems impossible that the Sabres and the Amerks would break apart. For one, where would the young talent come from? What about the farm team? This 30 year old relationship is a key to both franchises, as western New York fans often owe their allegiance to both teams. This news was astonishing to hear, and the future of the Amerks-Sabres so-called marriage is very uncertain. We will keep you up-to-date on any more developments. For the time being, we can only hope that Golisano and Steve Donner, owner of the Amerks, can come together and understand the bond between the teams.
