The Buffalo Sabres today announced that defensemen Chris Butler will donate two tickets to Military members from Western New York for each Sabres home game this season as part of the “Tickets for Troops” program. The seats are located in Sec 100, Row 18.

“I wanted to do this for the Armed Forces because it’s always something I’ve had a deep appreciation for,” explained Butler. “There’s a military history in my family, and I’ve always been impressed by the dedication that soldiers have.”

Tickets for Troops is a non-profit organization founded in 2007, to show appreciation for and give thanks to the members of the military for the hardships they endure and the sacrifices they make while on deployment.
