Buffalo Sabres fans will now get to call the home of the Sabres KeyBank Center for the next 10 years.
The team announced today that the naming rights with KeyBank have been extended for the next 10 years, right through the 2035-36 season.
In a press release, the team said they were excited to extend this partnership with KeyBank Center.
“We are thankful for the support of KeyBank over the course of the last decade and look forward to the continued relationship with such a valued partner of the Buffalo Sabres,” said Buffalo Sabres Owner, CEO and President Terry Pegula. “We take great pride in our home arena bearing the name of an organization with such strong roots in the Western New York community and feel this partnership will continue to drive community impact for many years to come.”
Check out a video the Sabres posted to their Facebook page.
This is not the only deal the Sabres and KeyBank made. According to the press release, KeyBank will also be the team’s away helmet sponsor starting this season.
As part of the new deal, KeyBank will have a chance to offer its customers special deals when attending games, concerts, and other events at the arena.

I like the idea of calling it KeyBank Center for the next 10 years. I hated it when the Bills changed the name of New Era Field to Highmark Stadium after just a couple of years.
Hopefully, the Sabres will make the playoffs at some point when the arena is called Keybank Center!
Here are six players who need to play their best if the Sabres are going to make the playoffs.
6 Buffalo Sabres That Need Breakout Seasons To End Playoff Drought
Assuming no trades, the Sabres will be relying on their own to continue to take steps forward and have a breakout season in order to end the playoff drought. Who, though, needs to have a breakout year? There are 6 players, I feel, who could (possibly) propel the Sabres into the playoffs by having career years. This is also assuming no major injuries or drop-offs from other players.
