The Buffalo Sabres will continue to honor the life and legacy of legendary play-by-play broadcaster Rick Jeanneret following his passing last Thursday at the age of 81.
The team announced on yesterday it will host a special tribute event this Sunday at KeyBank Center called “Remembering RJ: The Man Behind the Mic”. This event will feature a special tribute with roundtable conversations with broadcasters and Sabres alumni.
The event begins at 5 p.m. with doors opening for fans to attend at 3:30 p.m. General admission tickets are free to the public, but are available on a first-come, first-served basis. The event will also air on MSG and stream live on Sabres.com, as well as the team’s social media platforms.
The Sabres also say they will continue to honor Jeanneret’s legacy throughout the 2023-24 season. Further details will be announced at a later date.
