BUFFALO, N.Y. Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown announced on Monday the kickoff of a campaign aimed at giving youth in the city a way to have fun and make memories this summer. Camp Champs is a fundraiser sponsored by the Buffalo Police Athletic League.
“PAL offers enjoyable and enriching summer experiences to Buffalo youth from sports and educational day camps, to weekend camping trips to Allegany State Park. We’re asking local businesses and residents to become ‘Camp Champs’ by donating to these great annual summer camp programs,” Mayor Brown said.
The Sabres selected Miller during the fifth round of the 1999 NHL Entry Draft. He appeared in a combined 15 games for Buffalo during the 2002-03 and 2003-04 seasons before becoming one of the key figures among a young core that transformed the franchise following the 2004 lockout.
Miller assumed No. 1 duties on teams that went to back-to-back Eastern Conference Finals in 2005-06 and 2006-07, a role he did not relinquish until he was traded to the St. Louis Blues on Feb. 28, 2014. In the intervening years, he became a leader on the Sabres, a decorated Olympian, and a dedicated member of the Western New York community.
