A local charity supported by a former Buffalo Sabres captain was dealt a winning hand at a recent Celebrity Blackjack tournament at Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino.

Craig Rivet, a defenseman who played parts of three seasons with the Sabres, serving as the team’s captain throughout his tenure, won the charity event at the region’s premier gaming and entertainment resort destination over the weekend. His victory meant a $25,000 donation to Rivet’s selected charity, The Miracle League of Western New York. The league provides children with adaptive needs the opportunity to play baseball on a custom-designed field.
