The Buffalo hockey Bisons family has lost Gerry Ouellette, who captained the club to the Calder Cup in its final season. Ouellette, the ultimate gentleman, was actually the first player owned by @BuffaloSabres. He was 86. @mhickling.bsky.social n I send our condolences to his loved ones @TheAHL

Here’s my story with Virden product Bryn Chyzyk, hired by UND men’s hockey team as GM/assistant coach:
“That was probably my most accurate scouting report that I ever had — evaluating myself and realizing that I wasn’t going to make a lot of money playing the game of hockey.”
“That was probably my most accurate scouting report that I ever had — evaluating myself and realizing that I wasn’t going to make a lot of money playing the game of hockey.”
Like many kids growing up on the prairies in the rural town of Virden, Bryn Chyzyk had dreams of making it to the NHL.
From small-town Manitoba to college hockey history
An early passion for scouting led Chyzyk to general manager role

50 years ago, Rick Dudley bolted from the Sabres to the WHA after the Stanley Cup final, then wanted to come back - Buffalo Hockey Beat
Rick Dudley was gone but hardly forgotten by the Sabres. From the moment he departed, he said Punch Imlach kept trying to pry him away from the Stingers.
