After working for a time for Getty Oil and Felmont Oil Co., Pegula founded East Resources a natural gas drilling company, with $7,500 from family and friends in 1983.

Pegula and his wife have been heavily criticized for meddling in the Sabres' hockey operations. Many fans and critics alike have attributed the team's firing of six head coaches and three general managers since 2013 to this, as well as other controversial moves such as the trades of Ryan O'Reilly and Jack Eichel.{{cite web |last1=Ginise |first1=Brian |title=Sabres: The Pegulas are the Problem in Buffalo |url=https://thehockeywriters.com/buffalo-sabres-pegulas-ownership-problems/#:~:text=You%20can't%20beat%20bad%20ownership.&text=The%20Sabres%20have%20the%20longest,the%20end%20of%20his%20patience. |website=thehockeywriters.com |date=22 June 2020 |publisher=The Hockey Writers |access-date=13 May 2021}}

In May 2011, Pegula began negotiations on behalf of the Sabres to re-purchase the Rochester Americans, which had served as the Sabres' American Hockey League affiliate from 1979 to 2008 (and had been owned by the Sabres from 1979 to 1996); the deal was completed in late June 2011.Wawrow, John (2011-05-17).

On September 9, 2014, it was announced that Pegula had placed the winning binding bid to purchase the National Football League (NFL)'s Buffalo Bills, a team that was placed up for sale after the death of the original owner and team founder, Ralph Wilson.{{cite news|last=Graham|first=Tim|title=Bills confirm agreement reached with Pegulas to buy franchise|url=http://www.buffalonews.com/city-region/sources-agreement-reached-with-pegulas-to-buy-buffalo-bills-20140909|work=The Buffalo News|date=September 9, 2014|access-date=September 9, 2014}}{{cite web|url=http://www.buffalobills.com/news/article-1/Wilson-trust-reaches-definitive-agreement-with-Pegula-family/b00d5820-fe52-4255-a2f5-50943235f6e9|title=Wilson trust reaches definitive agreement with Pegula family|publisher=Buffalo Bills|date=September 9, 2014|access-date=September 9, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140910004838/http://www.buffalobills.com/news/article-1/Wilson-trust-reaches-definitive-agreement-with-Pegula-family/b00d5820-fe52-4255-a2f5-50943235f6e9|archive-date=September 10, 2014|url-status=dead|df=mdy-all}} Pegula was a favorite among most local Bills fans and local politicians to buy the team due to his commitment to the Western New York area and local connections. He competed against future U.S. President Donald Trump and musician Jon Bon Jovi, the latter of whom was backed by principals of the Toronto-based Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment, for purchase of the team.

New York State will contribute $600 million in funding with Erie County contributing $250 million, the Pegulas contributing $350 million and the National football league via a G-4 loan $200 million.

The agreement was released four days before the New York state budget was due to be passed, making it hard for lawmakers to scrutinize the agreement. Critics of the agreement characterized it as corporate welfare.

Pegula is also the operator of KeyBank Center and Blue Cross Arena.

This led to a domino effect across the men's college hockey landscape. Because six Big Ten universities now had Division I men's hockey programs (the minimum number of teams required under Big Ten bylaws for official conference sponsorship, and also the minimum required for a conference to be an automatic postseason qualifier), it was announced that Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Michigan State, and Ohio State would join Penn State in the Big Ten hockey conference starting in the 2013–2014 season.{{cite web|url=http://www.bigten.org/genrel/032111aab.html|title=Big Ten Official Athletic Site|website=Big Ten Conference|access-date=2013-10-16|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130527054636/http://www.bigten.org/genrel/032111aab.html|archive-date=2013-05-27|url-status=dead}} As a result, the CCHA ceased operations, with most schools (save for the three that joined the Big Ten and Notre Dame) joining the WCHA. Miami University and Western Michigan University, also previously in the CCHA, joined the upstart National Collegiate Hockey Conference along with former WCHA members St. Cloud State, Minnesota-Duluth, Denver, Colorado College, Nebraska-Omaha, and North Dakota. Ex-CCHA member Notre Dame joined Hockey East, which then recruited UConn from the Atlantic Hockey Association to begin play in Hockey East in 2014. After the dust settled, the ECAC was the only Division I conference not affected by the major conference realignment.2010–13 NCAA conference realignment#Men's ice hockey Notre Dame subsequently left Hockey East in 2017 to join the Big Ten for hockey only.{{Cite web|url=https://www.cbssports.com/nhl/news/notre-dame-joins-big-ten-conference-for-hockey-3-things-to-know/|title=Notre Dame joins Big Ten conference for hockey: 3 things to know|website=CBSSports.com|date=23 March 2016 }}

Because Penn State's arrival gave the Big Ten only four varsity women's hockey programs, that conference was unable to add the sport, meaning that the women's hockey landscape did not undergo the radical changes that occurred in the men's game. The Penn State women's team settled in College Hockey America, a league that sponsors only women's hockey.

The Pegulas donated $12 million to Houghton College in Houghton, New York, of which Kim Pegula is an alumna, to build the Kerr-Pegula Athletic Complex. The facility includes new baseball and softball stadiums and a 115,000 square-foot field house with an eight-lane 200-meter track, five tennis courts, weight room, cardiac fitness center, and locker rooms.
