"We love them and more than anything, we just want to be there for them right now," McDermott said. "I think if you just look at what they’ve done for western New York, what they’ve done for this organization, for the multiple organizations and companies that they own around here and then, personally, what they’ve done for me and my family, I don’t know that I’ll ever be able to repay them."

Kim and her husband Terry Pegula bought the Sabres in February 2011 and the Bills in 2014. Kim Pegula, who was born in Seoul and later adopted by an American family, is one of the few minority sports team owners.
