Welcome To
Editor
Letter
From The
As we enter the dog days
of summer, a lot has been
happening.
We officially introduced
Dave Ricci has a writer for
us. Ricci brings a ton of
experience, and a love for
the communities that he
covers. I have worked with
Dave while I was the Sports
Editor and then Managing
Editor at Metro Group Inc.
He has hit the ground run-
ning, and the community
has backed his efforts.
Adam Gorski is anoth-
er name
you will
be hear-
ing a lot of
this com-
ing school
year.
A
student
at Cardi-
nal O’Ha-
ra
High
School,
Gorski will
be supply-
ing features
through-
out the year
idden
(when soccer A H
doesn’t get in
the way). he is bright and
eager to learn the field - and
we are happy to have him
aboard.
One of the bigger an-
nouncements we have
this summer is our link up
with the Buffalo Sabres and
HarborCenter. The Sabres
and HarborCenter have be-
come the official sponsor of
Sports Union for the 2017-
18 year.
We couldn’t be happier
with this partnership with
the Sabres. They are a first
class organization and care
deeply about the communi-
ty - as do we. We can’t wait
to bring some of the stories
about what they are doing
to our wonderful Western
New York community.
The August issue has a
lot of stories on Hamburg
and Frontier High School
soccer. The stories coincide
with the first Southtowns
Derby on Saturday, Sept. 16.
Along with those stories,
we will have a story on a
you woman who is making
a name for herself on the
softball cir-
cuit with the
West Seneca
Magic and

We are al-

our
Sep-

have a lot
of stories
lined up
for the is-

As we
Gem
go along
this school year, you
will also notice more stories

our coverage of high school
and college athletics. Don’t
be surprised to see the Buf-

HarborCenter, we like to
