St. Louis, MO, June 25, 2002 - Executive Vice President and General
Manager Larry Pleau announced today that the club has named Don Lever
assistant coach.

"We are excited to have added a coach with Don's experience and
professionalism," said Pleau. "Don was a true competitor as a player
and is highly respected for his vast hockey knowledge."

Lever, 50, has spent 12 seasons on the Buffalo Sabres coaching staff,
including his fifth straight as the club's associate coach. His
tenure behind the Sabres bench was the second longest of any
assistant coach in the National Hockey League, second only to Dallas'
Doug Jarvis.

Lever began his coaching career as a Sabres assistant during the 1987-
88 season. He then served as head coach of the Rochester Americans
from 1990-92, before returning to Buffalo in 1992-93. In Lever's
first season with the Americans he was named the American Hockey
League's Coach of the Year, guiding the club to a 45-26-9 record and
a Calder Cup appearance.

Don began his NHL career after being drafted by Vancouver in 1972 and
played for six NHL clubs during his 15-year NHL career. During his
playing career Lever amassed 680 points (313 goals, 367 assists) in
1,020 contests.
