For The Fans!
 
The Buffalo Sabres 40th Anniversary display has now been up for 3 months at HSBC Arena and fans are flocking to see the memorabilia before games and between periods.  Here are some snapshots from a recent game showing some hockey fans enjoying Case No. 1. By the way, the Buffalo Sabres defeated the Boston Bruins 3-2 that night! Yeah!

 In other Buffalo Hockey Experience + Museum news-- Dr. Joe was interviewed by Business First so look for that coming soon. 

 These display cases were designed by our graphics team at OtherWisz Creative Corp.

Sabre Tickets from Season Number One

Will working on this Sabres 40th Anniversary exhibit installation we have had to dig through the archives. Here are some first season ticket stubs 1970-71 that we thought we would share. Not as fancy as they are now, and they only came in two colors- red and green- and we liked it that way... just a like a cold Utica Club.







We are looking to aquire a ticket from every Sabres home game from the last 40 years and the collection is close. See our list for tickets we need on the main Buffalo Hockey Experience + Museum website.

The Work Continues

The next steps to our Sabres 40th Anniversary exhibit installation continued today. The exhibit will be in HSBC arena for the entire hockey season. Yesterday we set up the mannequins and risers, tested the jersey placement. Today we marked off the location of all the memorabilia and started putting up the photos. It is looking good so far, see some install snapshots below.

Rink Ice in the Summer

The first step to our Sabres 40th Anniversary exhibit installation is almost complete. The exhibit will be in HSBC arena for the entire hockey season. The backdrops to our 2 display cases are being made to look like skated-on ice. These will be the background to the memorabilia that will be on display. Take a look at it so far....

New Exhibit Designed & Installing Next Week

The Buffalo Hockey Experience + Museum has teamed up with OtherWisz Creative & The Buffalo Sabres to present 40 years of Buffalo Sabres history in a display that will be up at HSBC Arena during the 2010-11 hockey season. The display will feature memorabilia from the BHEM archives and will show the world some of the better pieces in our collection.
