It’s Flashback Friday! Each Friday we will include historical facts about the college in The Dome, on Facebook and Twitter. Flashback Fridays are another part of our yearlong Sesquicentennial celebration, which culminates in 2020 when Canisius turns 150 years old.
Flashback to October 2014 – The Canisius hockey team debuted its new home at Harborcenter on October 31, 2014 when the Golden Griffins faced off against Ohio State. As the primary tenant of the $200 million hockey and entertainment complex, Canisius plays all its home games on Haborcenter’s feature rink, which holds a capacity crowd of 1,800.
