In 1976, Sevigny was selected to the QMJHL West First All-Star Team by playing in 55 games and posting a 3.85 GAA.
Sevigny's play at the international level caught the attention of the Montreal Canadiens and in 1977, he was selected 124th overall in the 1977 NHL amateur draft.
The Canadiens would win that year and Sevigny's name was engraved on the Stanley Cup before ever playing an NHL game.
He won the Vezina Trophy along with Denis Herron and Michel Larocque with Montreal that season.
He signed a four-year deal and spent the next three seasons with the Nordiques and their AHL affiliate, the Fredericton Express before finishing his career in France in 1990.
