Currently the longest-tenured broadcaster in hockey, Rick Jeanneret will begin his 45th year behind the microphone calling the action for Buffalo Sabres games. 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-

In the 2016-17 season, the Sabres and MSG will continue their partnership in which MSG will own the exclusive local rights to telecast the team’s games.

Rob Ray, a 13-year veteran of Sabres broadcasts, is in his fifth season as the full-time color analyst. After joining the broadcast team in 2003-04, Ray served as a second color analyst and the “between-the-glass” reporter for eight seasons before stepping into his current role. In his role as color analyst, Ray remains at ice level to provide a close-up perspective of the game’s action.
Brian Duff, who joined the Sabres broadcast team in 2011-12, will again serve as the full-time in-game host for all Sabres broadcasts on MSG. In that role, Duff will host the Tops Game Night pregame show before all games, the Lexus Post Game Report and the intermission reports between periods.
Veteran broadcaster Brad May will once again be a mainstay across all Sabres platforms in 2016-17, providing in-depth analysis before, during and after games.
Buffalo Sabres hockey on MSG is produced by Joe Pinter and directed by Eric Grossman.
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.
