‘Okposo’s impact on hockey will be echoed throughout the careers of the players he’s helped along the way. His empathy, honesty, kindness and perspective have made him beloved by Sabres players and staff since he arrived in Buffalo in July 2016. He chaired the search committee that led the NHL Players’ Association to hire former U.S. Secretary of Labor Marty Walsh as its executive director. No one should be surprised if Okposo is general manager or president of an NHL team someday.’
