David Savard’s field hockey career is officially over.

The veteran defenseman, who announced his retirement at the end of the regular season, has received tributes from just about everyone after his fine 14-year NHL career.

And deservedly so.

But then, of course, you have to wonder what’s next for the Quebecer. Will he take time for his family? Will he start working in field hockey?

We’ll see in due course. But if he does work in field hockey, expect it to be with the Habs, of course. His family is here, after all.

On this subject, Renaud Lavoie (TVA Sports) asked Nick Suzuki about the club’s #58. And to hear the captain tell it, don’t expect Savard to drop out of field hockey altogether.

Suzuki, who believes the CH will be back with a vengeance in 2025-2026, told the TVA Sports reporter that Savard will “probably still be around the club” for the foreseeable future.

Everyone yesterday wanted to play to prolong the Quebecer’s career.

We obviously knew that the player was respected in the dressing room, but the wave of tributes to him since last night shows just how much the NHL in general has recognized his contribution.

If he wants to work for the CH one day, I’d be surprised if the Habs turned him down. Wouldn’t it be worse to see him in player development?

But hey. Regardless of whether he works for the CH or not, the doors to the dressing room will never really be closed to him.
