• Savage brings a fantastic two-way game, he’s a Swiss Army knife, to say the least.
• His ability to get back on the defensive end and shut down the offensive rush is remarkable, and a skill that he can utilize for years to come.
• He possesses a high hockey IQ that also allows him to carry the puck into the offensive zone and create some scoring opportunities for his linemates.
• As a defensive powerhouse, Savage is relied on when it comes to the penalty kill.
• As mentioned above, his ability to play aggressively and shut the offensive zone down is something that scouts are going to drool over.
• A two-way center, he brings a lot of tenacity to his game and will most certainly be a pest that players will have to deal with for years.
• His offensive game requires some work, but after some tweaks, he could develop into a top-six center.
• “I would call myself a 200-foot center that plays with a lot of tenacity and work ethic who isn’t afraid to get pucks in corners and work to get whatever I can out of a play.” – Red Savage – 2021 BioSteel All-American Game post-practice Media Availability
