Buffalo businessman Mark Hamister was selected by the NHL Wednesday to purchase the financially troubled Buffalo Sabres. Hamister, who beat out Rochester billionaire B. Thomas Golisano in bidding for the team, owns the Arena Football League’s Buffalo Destroyers, and is chairman of National Health Care. He was the first to submit a bid to the NHL last month, and is backed by Todd Berman, president and founder of Chartwell Investments, a private equity group.
