RIT welcomes Derek Roy of the Buffalo Sabres for Sabres Night, Feb. 16, at Ritter Arena.
Two of western New York’s hottest hockey teams are joining forces for a first-time event at Rochester Institute of Technology. RIT Tigers men’s hockey plays host to Buffalo Sabres Night at Frank Ritter Ice Arena on Friday, Feb. 16, with special guest Derek Roy.
Roy is in his second season at center for the Sabres, who currently lead the point standings in the National Hockey League’s eastern conference. The Ottawa native began his career playing in the Ontario Hockey League and was drafted by Buffalo in 2001. He played two seasons with the Rochester Americans before getting called up to the Sabres in 2005.
A half-hour autograph session with Roy begins at 6:15 p.m. Sabretooth, the Sabres’ mascot, will also be available to meet with fans. At 7 p.m., RIT begins its final weekend home stand of the 2006-07 season when it faces off against Mercyhurst. The Tigers are in first place in the Atlantic Hockey Association.
Tickets for Buffalo Sabres Night are $8 for the general public. Advance sale tickets are available at the RIT Gordon Field House box office.
