We are going to see a lot of Blue & Gold around Bison Hockey this season. The Canisius College Men’s Hockey Team under the direction of Noah Segall, the new Director of Hockey Operations, is going to be helping Shelley Looney and our Bison Skills Instructors all season. Noah is arranging for members of the Canisius hockey team to link up with each of our teams on a regular basis throughout the season. 

The advantages are many according to Shelley Looney “We think having these young men on the ice will provide our players with the opportunity to see firsthand how drills should be executed. Having Division I college skaters on the ice is bound to raise the tempo at every practice. This is all part of our new partnership with Canisius College, who will be using the North Buffalo Rink this fall for practice before moving to the Harbor Center in late October”. 

Looney went on the express her special thanks to Canisius College Head Coach David Smith, who has been a long time friend, parent, coach and supporter of Bison Hockey. “Coach Smith has been a great resource to me this summer as we have been developing the new skills instruction program for Bison Hockey. We are very excited to begin implementing what we have designed.”
