Bergeron hired by the Buffalo Sabres
The Buffalo Sabres announced last week that they hired Wallaceburg’s Chris Bergeron as an amateur free-agent scout.
Bergeron coached the past five years at Miami University (Ohio), where Bergeron went 35-116-16 in his tenure. Miami fired him following the end of the 2023-24 season. Prior to Miami,
Bergeron was the head coach of Bowling Green before moving to Miami.
“I am pleased to welcome Chris Bergeron to the Buffalo Sabres organization as an amateur free agent scout,” Sabres general manager Kevyn Adams said in a statement. “Chris’ notable achievements at the college level, coupled with his strategic focus on progression and development, make him an ideal candidate for this role.”
Bergeron played a year with the Chatham Maroons, before playing four seasons at Miami University. He then embarked on a seven-year professional hockey career, then moved on to an assistant coaching role with Miami.
