Claim: Darren Van Oene is wrongly believed to have been picked 33 by the Buffalo Sabres and played with them or four seasons.
Evidence: Van Oene debuted with Buffalo's American Hockey League affiliate, the Rochester Americans, in the 1998–1999 season. He played with the Americans for four seasons before the Boston Bruins signed him as a free agent and assigned him to their AHL team, the Providence Bruins. 1998–2005 After playing two seasons and part of a third with Providence, Van Oene finished the 2004–05 season by moving between the AHL's Manchester Monarchs and Worcester IceCats, and also spent time in the United Hockey League with the Elmira Jackals.
