He went on to play four years at Clarkson University and in that time, his scouting career began with a professional scouting internship with the Sabres in 2008. Video: New Director of Scouting Jeremiah Crowe "A lot of the good times coming up and all the ups and downs and emotions that are all tied with it helped shape my feelings around the game and my desire to pursue a career in it." "Most of my memories of hockey early on and the passion that burns inside me was all driven out of following the Sabres and this organization," he said. He grew up a Sabres fan in Kenmore and Grand Island, and his early love for the game was shaped by the days of the "Hardest Working Team In Hockey," which blended skilled and grit. "I'm excited that he's going to bring that to our organization."Ĭrowe's ties to the Sabres and Western New York stretch back even further than the past three years.

"In most hockey circles, they're brought up just like that: as separate entities or separate departments. "We've talked about it at length obviously between us, but it's been put out there, as you know, with the buzzwords being analytics, video, and scouting. "This is a unique opportunity knowing what's been laid out by Kevyn's vision," he said. That, from the analytics and the scouting, will be combined into how we ultimately move forward."Ĭrowe, 34, has been with the team for the past three seasons as a pro scout and will oversee both the team's amateur and pro scouts and shape the department in new and innovative ways. "There's a process that we want to go through in our scouting - both from the amateur and the professional side - of how we measure players, where we see value, what certain traits are we measuring, and at what level.
