“Tremendous family,” Kris Draper, Detroit’s director of amateur scouting, said. “Red grew up in NHL dressing rooms and a hockey environment. Red knows what being a pro is. He has a lot of insight of going into rinks and seeing the sacrifices his dad made, and that’s exactly how Red is wired.”
Red Savage is a 5-11, 180-pound center who played for the U.S. National Team Development Program in Plymouth. He will attend Miami University (Ohio) next season, joining older brother Ryan at the school his dad played for in the early ‘90s.
I’m rooting for the kid based on the name alone.
