The French Connection Tournament, an intra-squad 3-on-3 tournament, will highlight the final day of camp on Saturday, June 29, beginning at 10:45 a.m. The tournament will be a ticketed event. Tickets will be made available exclusively for 2019-20 season ticket holders. Tickets will be free and limited to two per account. Season ticket holders for the 2019-20 season will receive an email on Monday, June 24 to claim their tickets. Tickets will be limited and distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.
The French Connection Tournament will be streamed live on Sabres.com and the team's official social media platforms. The stream will feature Rick Jeanneret doing play-by-play, and Rob Ray and Brian Duff providing commentary.
The goals of the camp are to introduce prospective players to professional work habits and organizational standards. The players will have an opportunity to become familiar with the team and the resources available to them through the Sabres development staff and performance team.
Later this morning, first-round picks Dylan Cozens and Ryan Johnson will meet with the Buffalo media. We'll have full coverage of that for you here. They're also set to join The Instigators, which starts at 10 a.m. on MSG and WGR 550.
