At 6 feet tall, 168 pounds, 17-year-old Scott Savage can hold down the blue line with the best of them.
In fact, the San Clemente native has been so good as a defenseman for the USA National U17 Team that he was chosen to participate in the inaugural CCM/USA Hockey All-American Prospects Game at the First Niagra Center in Buffalo, N.Y. on September 29.
The event will feature 40 prospects from all over the country that will be eligible for next year?s NHL Draft.
Savage, who attended San Clemente High as a freshman and a sophomore, has been honing his hockey skills in Ann Arbor, Mich. for the past two years. He has been living with a host family and attending Pioneer High School while training with and competing for the USA Hockey Developmental Team.
So far he?s traveled with the team to Slovakia, Russian and Canada to play against top-level talent. While in Russia last season, Savage and the USA team won the Four Nations Tournament.
?The best experience I?ve had in my hockey career was standing on the blue line in Russia singing our national anthem,? Savage said.
Savage has committed to Boston College and is set to attend in the fall of 2013.
