Holiday season at the arena
The spirit of giving is expected to fill HSBC Arena when the Chicago Blackhawks visit Friday:
*Broadcaster Rick Jeanneret will sign bricks from Memorial Auditorium in front of the Sabres Store from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m., with proceeds of the $49 and $69 sale going to the team’s foundation.
*The Sabres’ winter clothing drive – in which fans are asked to donate new or slightly used jackets, gloves, hats and sweaters – continues during this and every December home game.
*The team will conduct its annual Christmas ornament sale, which also benefits the Sabres' foundation. Each $20 ornament is signed by a Sabres player.
