2012-2013 18U Roster Announced

Press Release

After a long 2 days of tryouts, the Buffalo Jr Sabres have announced their roster for the 2012-2013 season. To date 19 players have been signed and the team will look to add one additional forward over the summer.

"Our tryout process was very competitive with nearly 100 players attending the first evening" said 18U head coach Mike Mondoux. "This team has an incredible amount of depth, deep scoring up front, solid defenseman and two very good goaltenders. If we can pick up another strong forward over the summer, I'm very excited about the things this team can accomplish next year."

"10 players moved up from our 16U team, which is a strong testament to the quality of team they had last year and also to the program that we have built. I believe they finished the year ranked #13 in the nation, so they certainly provide a very strong core to build around."
