An intriguing prospect, currently playing with the Rochester Americans, has been suspended by his organization after he asked them to go back to school.
Nicolas Savoie, who won the Memorial Cup in 2023 with the Quebec Remparts, has been suspended by his team after he expressed his wishes to pursue academic aspirations.
While players often quit hockey to return to school, we don't often hear about a team suspending him, even for contract termination purposes.
A deal is reportedly already in place between Savoie and the University of New Brunswick. The defenseman, after sitting out on the rest of the current season, will play for the UNB Reds for the 2024-25 season.
