Celebrating Black History Month: Jean-Luc Grand-Pierre

In honor of Black History Month, I wanted to pick up where I left off last February in highlighting some of the great Black players who have skated for the Buffalo Sabres in the team’s history. Previously covered: Mike Grier, Val James, Tony McKegney & Grant Fuhr.

Before Jean-Luc Grand-Pierre became the first Black player in Columbus Blue Jackets history, he was a member of the Sabres organization from 1997-2000.
