I am attending the Greater
Buffalo Hall of Fame banquet tonight in honor of former UB Wrestler and
Hall-of-Fame Coach Eric Knuutila.
Coach Knuutila will be inducted into the Hall-of-Fame later on this
evening as both a Niagara County Community College Coach and a UB graduate/wrestler. At NCCC, Coach Knuutila became one of the
winningest coaches in NCAA Wrestling history.
He and his wife Linda have provided WNY with decades of leadership,
guidance and service to the wrestling community. They have also been mentor’s and role models to
thousands of student-athletes across NYS and around the country. I am very happy to say that Eric and Linda
Knuutila have mentored me through the years as both a competitor and as a
coach.
He is widely recognized by people around the country as one
of the most respected and decorated coaches in the country. I am both honored and privileged to attend Coach
Knuutila's Induction tonight.
Congrats Coach and Linda!!
