Rick Jeanneret Will Not Retire Just Yet as the Voice of the Sabres [VIDEO]

Around a year ago we learned that Rick Jeanneret, the voice of the Buffalo Sabres, was suffering from throat cancer. He has recovered and Rick says he feels healthy enough to call as many games through the 2016/2017 seasons as he did last year.

He told us last year:

“I had planned all along to get back in the booth, but I couldn’t set a timetable given that I didn’t know how the recovery would go. I had no preset return date, but it was certainly affected by the news that I had been found cancer free.”

Well, he's keeping his promise. The Buffalo Sabres Hall of Fame play by play man is here to stay! I hope that when I'm 73, I can continue to entertain radio listeners with my fun, upbeat and sometimes corny radio personality.

Thanks Rick!
