Savard positions the 1976 Canada Cup roster as the pinnacle of Canadian hockey, arguing that Hull, Orr, and Lafleur’s absence in 1972 left room for a deeper, more complete lineup in ’76, and he highlights the near-HOF density on the roster as a standard-bearer for future international play.

Savard headlines the Invitational Serge Savard fundraiser, linking the Montreal Canadiens alumni cohort to the 1976 Canada Cup’s legacy. His role as organizer ties the charitable mission to hockey history, signaling the event’s dual aim: honor the past and support current student-athletes at the University of Sherbrooke.
