With open practices, scrimmages and merchandise sales—it seems that Buffalo is beyond ready for NHL hockey.

The Sabres, in perfect timing with the end of the lockout, have debuted a new web series that will take a behind the scenes look at the team and will be exclusively posted to Sabres.com.

“Beyond Blue and Gold” will give fans a great behind-the-scenes look, like never before. According to the team, “From the boardroom to the draft room to the dressing room, fans will be given an all-access pass to the entire Sabres organization throughout the entire 2012-13 NHL season.”

Reminiscent of HBO’s “24/7,” the first episode takes a look back at the team’s Draft Prospect Combine from mid-June. From endurance testing to on-ice drills, the video highlights the hard work it takes for a shot at a pro-league. The video “also features one-on-one interviews with Sabres Assistant GM Kevin Devine and Doug McKenney, the team’s strength and conditioning coach,” according to the team.
