FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- The Sabres are in the process of making their Party in the Plaza even better for the world junior championships. They began construction today on the "Labatt Blue Hockey Lodge," a 20,000-square foot party tent that will serve as a party headquarters during the tournament that runs Dec. 26 to Jan. 5.
The tent will feature live entertainment, food and drink, and flat screen TV's to watch all the action every day.
