The Buffalo Sabres have parted ways with player developmental coach Adam Mair following his September arrest for allegedly driving drunk with three children in his car.
According to a police report from the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office, Mair was arrested on Sept. 4 in the town of Pittsford. Police say Mair was driving while in an intoxicated state, which led to an accident at the intersection of Clover Street and Tobey Road. His blood alcohol content was found to be .20%, police say.
The Sabres released a statement to Spectrum News 1 on Friday, saying: “Adam Mair is no longer employed as our Director of Player Development. We wish him well.”
From nearby, Hamilton, Ontario, Mair was a noted hard-hitting center and enjoyed an 11-season NHL career, which included a seven-season stint with the Sabres. He retired after spending 2011-12 in the minors and was eventually hired by the Sabres as a developmental coach in 2015.
