Former NHL goaltender Craig Anderson has an unusual new job with his former team, the Buffalo Sabres.

Anderson, who played his last game with the Sabres in April after 20 seasons in the NHL, has been hired as a "hockey liaison" by the organization. The part-time role doesn't make him a coach or an executive. According to the Sabres, Anderson will be "a trusted voice in the Sabres' locker room, providing insight, guidance, and support" to the players and coaching staff.
