Niagara Frontier Hockey Limited Partnership
 PROFILE
Even when Niagara Frontier Hockey (better known as the Buffalo Sabres) wins, it loses. The team reached the Stanley Cup finals in 1999 and plays to near-capacity crowds at HSBC Arena, but has been drowning in red ink (losing nearly $30 million in the past two years). Many NHL teams claim losses, mainly because of rising player salaries. The Sabres first skated onto the ice in 1970 and are currently led by star goalie Dominik "The Dominator" Hasek (who may soon retire). Niagara Frontier Hockey chairman John Rigas, co-founder of cable company Adelphia Communications, and his family operate the team under an agreement to buy the remaining 50% of the Sabres they don't already own.
