Ben Steiner reported that there's a deal in place with the University of New Brunswick for the 2024-25 season. Savoie will likely sit out on the rest of the current season.
"Hearing that the UNB Reds have a commitment in place to add defenceman Nicolas Savoie for next season.
He played 21 ECHL games this season, and had a four game callup for the AHL's Rochester Americans." Steiner said.
