Jeanneret was the 2012 recipient of the Foster Hewitt Memorial Award – the most prestigious award given to hockey broadcasters – and was formally recognized by the Hockey Hall of Fame in November 2012. He was inducted into the Sabres Hall of Fame in 2011 and was inducted into the Greater Buffalo Sports Hall of Fame in fall 2012. With his vast knowledge of the game and his unwavering enthusiasm for hockey, Jeanneret’s distinct voice has been synonymous with the Buffalo Sabres for over four decades. He began his prolific career with the Sabres in the 1971-72 season as the club’s radio play-by-play announcer and served primarily in that role until 1995, when he began calling the action for the team’s televised games as well. His memorable calls and player nicknames have become forever linked with Sabres history for generations of fans. Jeanneret’s career officially began in 1963, when the St. Catharines, Ontario native filled in for the regular announcer at a Niagara Falls Flyers (Junior A) game. He went on to become the color analyst for one season before moving to the play-by-play position in 1965. Jeanneret currently resides in Niagara Falls, Ontario with his wife, Sandra. Rick has two sons, Mark and Chris. DAN DUNLEAVY | PLAY-BY-PLAY ANNOUNCER/REPORTER Prior to joining the Sabres broadcast team in 2013, Dan Dunleavy spent 19 years at Sportsnet Radio and The Fan 590 Toronto. In addition to filling in as a play-by-play voice for the Sabres in the 2010-11 season, Dunleavy’s experience includes nine years of play-by-play for the IIHF World Junior Hockey Championship, the 2008 IIHF World Hockey Championship in Halifax and Quebec City, Men’s and Women’s Hockey at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, the OHL’s Mississauga Majors, and Canadian Hockey League and American Hockey League games on Rogers Sportsnet. The Toronto native has also called soccer and lacrosse games, serving as the play-by-play voice for the National Lacrosse League’s Toronto Rock on The Fan 590 and the radio and television play-by-play voice for Toronto FC on Sportsnet TV/Radio and TSN 1050 Radio. Dunleavy currently resides in Fort Erie, Ontario with his wife, Brenda. ROB RAY | COLOR ANALYST Rob Ray, who begins his 17th season on Buffalo Sabres broadcasts, will be entering his ninth season as the full-time color analyst for all Sabres games this season. After joining the broadcast team in 2003-04, Ray has served as a color analyst and the “between-the-benches” reporter for the past 16 years. In his role as color analyst, Ray remains at ice level to provide a close-up perspective of the game’s action. Ray’s hockey expertise stems from his 16-year NHL career as a right wing, 14 seasons of which were spent with the Sabres. Known for his toughness on the ice, Ray ranks sixth in NHL history for career penalty minutes (3,207) and holds the Sabres’ team record in the same category with 3,189 penalty minutes. Ray played in 900 total NHL games during his career and 889 games with the Sabres, the fourth-most in franchise history. Despite being one of the game’s toughest enforcers, Ray was also awarded the NHL’s King Clancy Memorial Award in 1999 for his leadership and humanitarianism. He remains as one of the Sabres’ most active alumni, currently serving as president of the Sabres Alumni Association. Ray and his wife, Julianne, live in East Amherst, New York with their son, Rob Jr., and their daughter, Jordan. BRIAN DUFF | STUDIO HOST Entering his 10th season with the Buffalo Sabres, studio host Brian Duff has nearly 30 years of experience in the broadcasting industry, with the majority of it devoted to covering the NHL. An original member of NHL Network at the time of its launch in the United States in 2007, Duff served as the lead host for the network’s signature events, including the Stanley Cup Final, the NHL All-Star Game and the NHL Draft. Duff’s tenure with the Sabres began on a part-time basis in 2011-12, when he hosted many of the team’s road games while also completing his fifth season at NHL Network. Outside of his game night duties on MSG, Duff is also a regular content contributor to Sabres.com and has been a part of multiple New York Emmy Award wins as a member of the production team responsible for series such as Beyond Blue & Gold. A native of Whitby, Ontario, Duff served as a broadcast host on radio and/or television for the Edmonton Oilers, Ottawa Senators and Toronto Maple Leafs between 1994 and 2007. He is also an avid fan of lacrosse and has done play-by-play and commentary for the National Lacrosse League, including the league’s championship games in 2010, 2011, 2016 and 2017. MARTY BIRON | STUDIO ANALYST Martin Biron is in his fourth season as the studio analyst for the Buffalo Sabres after being named to the position in August 2017. His primary role is to serve as an analyst alongside Brian Duff during the pregame, intermission and postgame portions of the broadcast. Biron will also provide in-game analysis at select times both at ice level and in the broadcast booth. Biron was the Sabres’ first-round pick in the 1995 NHL Draft and went on to rank fourth in franchise history among goaltenders with 300 games played in his nine seasons with the club. In 2007, he was traded to the Philadelphia Flyers and led the team to the 2008 Eastern Conference Final. Following his time in Philadelphia, Biron went on to spend time with the Islanders and Rangers before retiring from the NHL in October 2013. In addition to his role on the Sabres’ broadcast, Bison is a frequent contributor to The Instigators and produces content for Sabres.com. He also assists with the goaltending program for the Academy of Hockey. 321 MEDIA INFORMATION 2020 - 2021 MEDIA INFORMATION Requests for information should be directed to the Sabres’ Media Relations Department, Buffalo Sabres, KeyBank Center, One Seymour H.

    Portail de l'éducation de Historica Canada Canada's Game - The Modern Era Overview This lesson plan is based on viewing the Footprints videos for Gordie Howe, Bobby Orr, Father David Bauer, Bobby Hull,Wayne Gretzky, and The Forum. Throughout hockey's history, though they are not presented in the Footprints, francophone players like Guy Lafleur, Mario Lemieux, Raymond Bourque, Jacques Lemaire, and Patrick Roy also made a significant contribution to the sport. Parents still watch their children skate around cold arenas before the sun is up and backyard rinks remain national landmarks. But hockey is no longer just Canada's game. Now played in cities better known for their golf courses than their ice rinks, hockey is an international game. Hockey superstars and hallowed ice rinks became national icons as the game matured and Canadians negotiated their role in the modern era. Aims To increase student awareness of the development of the game of hockey in Canada; to increase student recognition of the contributions made by hockey players as innovators and their contributions to the game; to examine their accomplishments in their historical context; to explore how hockey has evolved into the modern game; to understand the role of memory and commemoration in our understanding of the past and present; and to critically investigate myth-making as a way of understanding the game’s relationship to national identity. Background Frozen fans huddled in the open air and helmet-less players battled for the puck in a -28 degree Celsius wind chill. The festive celebration was the second-ever outdoor National Hockey League game, held on 22 November 2003.

  • Versatile Fox Sports Broadcaster Kenny Albert Continues to Pair with Biggest Names in Sports
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Erik Arneson, FOX Sports Wednesday, Sept. 21, 2016 [email protected] VERSATILE FOX SPORTS BROADCASTER KENNY ALBERT CONTINUES TO PAIR WITH BIGGEST NAMES IN SPORTS Boothmates like Namath, Ewing, Palmer, Leonard ‘Enhance Broadcasts … Make My Job a Lot More Fun’ Teams with Former Cowboy and Longtime Broadcast Partner Daryl ‘Moose’ Johnston and Sideline Reporter Laura Okmin for FOX NFL in 2016 With an ever-growing roster of nearly 250 teammates (complete list below) that includes iconic names like Joe Namath, Patrick Ewing, Jim Palmer, Jeremy Roenick and “Sugar Ray” Leonard, versatile FOX Sports play-by-play announcer Kenny Albert -- the only announcer currently doing play-by-play for all four major U.S. sports (NFL, MLB, NBA and NHL) -- certainly knows the importance of preparation and chemistry. “The most important aspects of my job are definitely research and preparation,” said Albert, a second-generation broadcaster whose long-running career behind the sports microphone started in high school, and as an undergraduate at New York University in the late 1980s, he called NYU basketball games. “When the NFL season begins, it's similar to what coaches go through. If I'm not sleeping, eating or spending time with my family, I'm preparing for that Sunday's game. “And when I first work with a particular analyst, researching their career is definitely a big part of it,” Albert added. “With (Daryl Johnston) ‘Moose,’ for example, there are various anecdotes from his years with the Dallas Cowboys that pertain to our games. When I work local Knicks telecasts with Walt ‘Clyde’ Frazier on MSG, a percentage of our viewers were avid fans of Clyde during the Knicks’ championship runs in 1970 and 1973, so we weave some of those stories into the broadcasts.” As the 2016 NFL season gets underway, Albert once again teams with longtime broadcast partner Johnston, with whom he has paired for 10 seasons, sideline reporter Laura Okmin and producer Barry Landis.

  • L'ancien Capitaine Des Canadiens Henri Richard S
    L’ANCIEN CAPITAINE DES CANADIENS HENRI RICHARD S’ÉTEINT À L’ÂGE DE 84 ANS (Montréal, le 6 mars 2020) – C’est avec grande tristesse que le Club de hockey Canadien a appris le décès de son ancien capitaine Henri Richard, survenu plus tôt aujourd’hui à Laval. Il était âgé de 84 ans, lui qui avait célébré son anniversaire le 29 février dernier. Né en 1936 à Montréal, Henri a passé toute sa carrière dans l’uniforme des Canadiens, le seul avec Jean Béliveau à disputer 20 saisons avec le Tricolore. Avant de faire le saut dans la LNH, évoluant au sein de la même équipe que son frère aîné Maurice, Henri s’est illustré avec le National de Montréal, amassant 55 points en 49 matchs en 1951-1952. Il se joint ensuite aux Canadiens Juniors avec qui il remporte le championnat des marqueurs du circuit deux saisons de suite, arborant le chandail numéro 9. C’est en 1955-1956 qu’il amorce son illustre carrière dans la LNH avec les Canadiens, récoltant 40 points, dont 19 buts, en 64 rencontres et gagne la coupe Stanley pour la première fois. Les saisons se succèdent avec les Canadiens et la conquête de la coupe Stanley est au rendez-vous lors de ses cinq premières saisons. Ce faisant, Henri est l’un des 12 joueurs du Tricolore ayant réussi cet exploit de graver son nom cinq saisons consécutives sur le convoité trophée (en compagnie de Dickie Moore, Jacques Plante, Jean Béliveau, Doug Harvey, Bernard Geoffrion, Tom Johnson, Claude Provost, Jean-Guy Talbot, Don Marshall, Bob Turner et son frère Maurice).
