“We are proud to reignite our partnership with Tops Friendly Markets,” Buffalo Sabres Chief Operating Officer Pete Guelli said. “Our partnership extends far beyond business and it is a collaboration rooted in decades of shared history and community values. Tops is a vital part of Buffalo’s fabric and their unwavering commitment to our city perfectly complements the values of the Buffalo Sabres organization.”
