Western New York is a distinguished member of this country's unique, collective wrestling family, having produced dozens of state champions, Hall of Fame coaches and grapplers and even a few Olympians over the past half century.

January not only ushers in the new year, it also marks the annual return of two of Western New York's biggest sporting events, the Niagara Frontier Wrestling Officials Association Tournament and the annual Lockport Wrestling Tournament, which concluded this past Saturday.
