The Buffalo Sabres are deeply saddened to learn of Rick Jeanneret's cancer diagnosis. RJ has been a vital part of the Sabres family and the Buffalo community for 43 years, and this news undoubtedly weighs heavily on everyone who has had the privilege of listening to his broadcasts through the years.

As he begins treatment in the coming weeks, we will continue to keep RJ, his wife, Sandra, his mother, Kay, his sister, Marcia, his children, Mark and Chris, his stepdaughter, Shelly, and his grandchildren in our thoughts. We wish RJ a full and speedy recovery and know his tenacity will serve him well in his fight.

On behalf of the Jeanneret family, the Sabres are asking for respect of the family's privacy as RJ undergoes treatment— any inquiries should be directed to Michael Gilbert ([email protected]). The team has also set up a dedicated email address, [email protected], for fans to send well-wishes and notes of encouragement.
