Devon Levi's story
A standout performance at the World Junior A Challenge first put Devon Levi on the radar, and his early midget years with the Lac St‑Louis Lions only amplified that reputation. Raised in Dollard‑des‑Ormeaux on Montreal's West Island, he learned the basics playing street hockey with his father before moving to the ice; bilingual in English and French, he progressed quickly through youth ranks.
Levi deliberately chose a Junior A path with the Carleton Place Canadians to keep NCAA options open, and the decision paid off. In 2019–20 he led the CCHL in key goaltending categories and collected a string of league and national awards. His midget tenure also featured academic honours and a remarkable 64‑save game that underscored his stamina and competitiveness.
Selected 212th overall by the Florida Panthers in the 2020 draft, his NHL rights were sent to the Buffalo Sabres in July 2021 as part of the trade for Sam Reinhart. He committed to Northeastern University, delayed his on‑ice college start because of a rib injury, then proceeded to post consecutive shutouts to open his NCAA career. Across his time with the Huskies he put up elite save percentages, earned Hockey East rookie monthly honours, won the Mike Richter Award twice and helped his team to a regular‑season title and a Beanpot victory.
Turning professional after his college season, Levi signed with Buffalo and debuted in late March 2023, appearing in several of the club's final games and collecting wins. The following season he split time between the Sabres and their AHL affiliate in Rochester, gaining experience and even recording his first professional point with an assist.
Internationally, Levi first drew attention at the 2019 World Junior A Challenge and then cemented his status at the 2021 World Junior Championship, posting a tournament record‑level save percentage and being named the event's best goaltender. He was also named to Canada's 2022 Olympic squad. Observers praise his quick reads, technical soundness and ability to track the puck through traffic—traits that define his style of play.
