CARLSBAD, CA (July 12, 2022) –
Upper Deck, the premier global sports and entertainment collectibles company,
announced today that it has signed elite hockey player and 9th overall pick in the
2022 Upper Deck NHL Draft, Matthew Savoie to an exclusive trading card and collectible
agreement.
In 2019 Savoie was drafted #1 overall in the WHL Bantam Draft by the Winnipeg ICE.
During his official rookie season, Savoie scored 35 goals and 55 assists totaling
an impressive 90 points. Throughout his 65 games played, Savoie led all WHL rookies
in points. After his impressive career in the WHL, Savoie was drafted 9th overall
by the Buffalo Sabres in the 2022 Upper Deck NHL Draft. He now looks to take his
blistering speed and offensive talents to Buffalo to make an impact at the next
level.
“I am beyond thrilled to sign with such an iconic brand like Upper Deck and join
their incredible roster of world-class athletes,” said Matt Savoie. “This is a very
exciting time in my career, and I look forward to working with Upper Deck for many
years to come.”
This license grants Upper Deck exclusive rights to feature Savoie’s autograph on
trading cards, collectibles, and memorabilia. Collectors and fans will be able to
purchase autographed Team Canada and Winnipeg ICE pucks, jerseys, and various never-before-seen
autographed prints showcasing Savoie in his Winnipeg ICE uniform.
“Matthew is an offensively gifted player with premier playmaking abilities, and
we are thrilled to have him join the Upper Deck family,“ said Jason Masherah, President
of Upper Deck. “We are looking forward to watching him grow and thrive as a player
on and off the ice, and are excited to release his exclusive collection of memorabilia
and collectibles.”
One notable piece in Savoie’s portfolio commemorates his astounding WHL rookie season.

2021-22 WHL rookie season stats. The collection also includes exclusive prints like
