Yes, a game at The Ralph on the preseason list.

No, not that game, and no, not that Ralph. We’re talking Ralph Engelstad Arena in Grand Forks, North Dakota, home of the Fighting Sioux and the college home for Sabres winger Drew Stafford.

Here is the complete schedule, which will include two home games at HSBC Arena:

Friday, September 21 Buffalo vs. Columbus, 7:00 p.m. (HSBC Arena)
Sunday, September 23 Buffalo at Columbus, 5:00 p.m. (Nationwide Arena)
Monday, September 24 Buffalo at Minnesota, 8:00 p.m. (Grand Forks, ND)
Wednesday, September 26 Buffalo at Toronto, 7:30 p.m. (Air Canada Centre)
Friday, September 28 Buffalo at Pittsburgh, 7:30 p.m. (Mellon Arena)
Saturday, September 29 Buffalo vs. Pittsburgh, 7:00 p.m. (HSBC Arena)

For the record, the USRT did make a visit to The Ralph back in January of 2005, as part of a trip which also included Winnipeg’s new MTS Centre 150 miles to the north.

Our take on The Ralph? One of the most amazing and most opulent hockey venues on the planet.
