Buffalo Sabres Legend Rob Ray
Buffalo Sabres Legend Rob Ray
It's time to throw down your gloves and start swinging when Legendary Buffalo Sabres enforcer Rob Ray is in your studio. (maybe not; I'm pretty sure I'd come out on the losing end of that one)
For a guy with such a fearsome reputation on the ice, the NHL has a fighting rule named after him (better keep your jersey tied down when resorting to fisticuffs from now on). I'm happy to say that Rob (aside from being very friendly) was sitting for this portrait to help some very special and in-need dogs find their forever homes as part of an ongoing campaign that I've been working on with Partners + Napier to help promote an incredible animal rescue called Diamonds in the Ruff.
I spent most of my teenage years watching Rob go toe to toe (skate to skate?) with guys like Tie Domi and Steve Webb. Still, since he's made the transition to being part of the Sabres' broadcast team (alongside Rick Jeanneret and fellow former Sabres enforcer Brad May), Rob has made an even more significant impact locally by being incredibly active in helping several Buffalo-based charities and community organizations like DITR. I'm so glad he could participate in this project combining my love of Buffalo Hockey and helping these amazing animals.
