"I’m really excited to go to Buffalo," Hangartner said in a telephone interview with the Observer tonight. "They gave me a chance to be their starting center, which is what I’ve been looking for.

"It’s a really class organization and I’m really impressed with all the people up there. I think they’ve got some good talent up there … I think it’s a team on the rise."

Good luck in Buffalo Hang...except when you play the Panthers in '09!
