The star centre had already shuffled between the NHL's Buffalo Sabres, their American Hockey League affiliate the Rochester Americans and then the Western Hockey League's Wenatchee Wild. He also played for Canada at the 2024 world junior championship.
Moose Jaw ended up winning its first-ever Ed Chynoweth Cup as WHL champion by sweeping the Portland Winterhawks in its first league final appearance in 18 years. Savoie had 24 points in 19 playoff games as the Warriors also earned their first-ever appearance at the Memorial Cup. Now with a semifinal matchup against the host Saginaw Spirit on Friday, Savoie is embracing the moment in his first and final crack at a Memorial Cup title in his last junior season.
Savoie, who hails from St. Albert, Alta., has been among the WHL's best dating back to his time with the Winnipeg Ice, who were relocated and became the Wenatchee Wild this season. "You can see the highlight-reel goals and the plays that he makes but it's that work that goes into it that I'm most impressed about."
