BUFFALO, N. Derwin James Jersey .Y. - Its game on at HarborCenter, Buffalos downtown $172 million hockey and entertainment complex, and Dave Smith has difficulty describing his level of excitement.I was a journalism major and I need more words, the Canisius College hockey coach said Thursday. Im stuck on special. Its just a special feeling. Its a special energy. Our guys cheered when they went on the ice.The Atlantic Hockey Conferences Golden Griffins will formally christen the two-rink facilitys main ice sheet on Friday when they host the Big Tens Ohio State.HarborCenter, however, goes beyond Canisius, which will use it at its new home after previously playing at Buffalo State College.The complex, privately funded by Sabres owner Terry Pegula, has already raised Buffalos stature on the international hockey landscape.The NHL took notice by selecting Buffalo to host the leagues annual pre-draft rookie combine for the next two years. Two weeks ago, the Sabres were chosen to host the leagues draft in 2016.Then theres USA Hockey, which is bringing both the Under-18 womens and sledge hockey world championships to Buffalo next year. And HarborCenter makes Buffalo a serious contender to host the 2018 World Junior Hockey Championships.Ill admit that exceeded our expectations, HarborCenter president John Koelmel said. Were all the more amazed and all the more pleased with the incredible response that weve gotten. And weve yet to open our doors.And the facility, which is connected to the Sabres arena, is not even completed yet.Though the two NHL-sized rinks located on the sixth floor are ready, HarborCenter will eventually feature shops, restaurants and a full-service 200-plus-room hotel, which is scheduled to open next summer.The complex includes 11 locker rooms, a full training facility and several classrooms for film study and team meetings. The main rink has an arched, wooden roof, which reverberates the smallest of sounds. The roof also provides an esthetic quality by giving the rink a throwback barn-like feel.Several floor-to-ceiling windows add natural light and provide panoramic views of the city.The rinks will be busy. Aside from being home to Canisius, Erie County Community College and the Buffalo Junior Sabres hockey programs, HarborCenter is fully booked with youth hockey tournaments being held every weekend through April 1.For me, its special, said former NHLer and Buffalo-area native Kevyn Adams, who will oversee HarborCenters hockey academy. To have this in the town that grew up in and know the positive impact were going to have on so many players and families, its hard to describe how exciting it is, and how much it means to me on a personal level.
