The incident occurred late Saturday night when Mair was pulled over and subsequently found to be over the legal limit.

In the wake of the arrest, the Buffalo Sabres have released a statement expressing their disappointment and emphasizing their commitment to upholding a standard of conduct within the organization. Mair, who took the reins as head coach not long ago, is under pressure to address his actions and ensure that he models the behavior expected of his players.

As he navigates the consequences of this incident, the Sabres hope to turn this situation into a learning experience, not just for Mair but for the entire team.
