"Interning with the Buffalo Sabres this year was an incredible experience. I have learned so much valuable information throughout the season and have loved getting to experience many different work opportunities along the way. While working in youth hockey, seeing the difference we make in the kids lives and having them say things like "this is the best day ever" and seeing the smiles on their faces is so rewarding after spending such a short period of time with them."

"From the beginning, I was offered various hands-on opportunities to contribute to each team's website and social media channels. I also developed and utilized many valuable skills and had the opportunity to learn more about the industry as a whole. I loved having the chance to be right in the middle of all the action, whether I was shooting video from the glass or was interviewing players in the locker room for a story. I felt supported and trusted by many people in the organization and I know that I will benefit from these relationships and experiences in the future."

At the Buffalo Sabres, diversity, equity and inclusion is at the center of who we aspire to be.

We must advocate for our underrepresented colleagues at all levels, and we realize the need to continue to evolve in these efforts so that we can meaningfully support, empower, and develop each and every person in our organization. Our commitment to values of diversity, equity and inclusion does not stop at our own office doors; it extends into our stadium, arenas, facilities and the community
we serve.

We understand the impact professional sports franchises have. We take that responsibility seriously and we will continue our work to create positive change.

"Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion are that the forefront of our mission to continue to progress our organization. As a Council, our focus is on People, Culture, and Community. Through great, diverse talent we continue to build an inclusive work environment while always looking to better enrich our community."
