This afternoon, the Buffalo Sabres announced that their team Skills Competition would return for a second season. The event will take place on Sunday, January 5 at KeyBank Center.
Last year, the more than 10,000 fans were in attendance for the contest which featured special blue-and-gold uniforms, autograph signings from past players, and of course, the skills competition itself. This year, a new set of special jerseys will be worn by the players which will commemorate the 1978 NHL All-Star Game that was held in Buffalo.
The contest will feature several events like the hardest shot competition, accuracy showdown, and shootout challenge, just to name a few.
