2015 Tim Hortons Backyard Classic Dates Announced!

The weekend of January 24th and 25th 2015 will be a magical one at the Angry Buffalo at the Rose Garden when the Tim Hortons Backyard Classic once again takes over the backyard and outdoor bar for two straight days of outdoor hockey fun.  Last year, the THBYC had over 30 teams participate over a two-day span as the ice held on just long enough for all games to be played.  Features included Sabretooth helping out with the mites, a heated locker-room tent, four 35 ft by 90 ft long ice rinks with end board fencing, a championship rink with a scoreboard, Doug Allen singing the national anthems, music throughout on a high-quality Bose speaker system, Sabres Alumni bartenders, and SOOO much more.

This year promises to be even better than last year!  Tim Hortons is back on board as the title sponsor of the event.  A more logical rink setup is going to be featured this year so that all four rinks are in a line.  New this year will be a Pace Rinks custom built Championship Ice Rink.  Two rinks will be located inside of the Angry Buffalo at the Rose Garden's volleyball courts.  An additional rink will be located next to the volleyball courts.  This will mean that all of our rinks will be fully lit allowing for play to continue into the night.  The developments have just begun for this year's installment of the Classic.  We are looking forward to another sold-out event.
