A special Beauts Beer was teased when the game was announced, so having a beer maker as the title sponsor is a perfect fit. There’s o word on what type of beer it will be, or if it will be solely a special can. In addition, RiverWorks has large silos with Labatt’s logo on them.

The Buffalo Beauts will host the Metropolitan Riveters in the Labatt Blue NWHL Buffalo Believes Classic. This will be the first meeting of the two teams this season.
