USNTDP player Scott Savage discusses decision would could be life changing
Scott Savage, a United States National Training Development Programme (USNTDP) player, talked about how one decision changed his life and made him what he is today.
The California born players tells that he was only 4 years old when he arrive in San Clemente from Lake Arrowhead south. The people who sold them the house suggested that there is one thing great about this house and it will be very beneficial for them.
Savage reveals that he was surprised to see the rink as he said,
"The people we purchased the house from told us to check out the roller-hockey rink. They just said if you're looking for something to do, check out the roller rink”.
That roller rink made him develop interest in the game and he started playing it and loving it. At the age of 10 he started playing on the ice rink and started changing into a very skillful and talented player. Something that caught the eyes of USNTDP and
they made him part of their project.
Talking to NHL.com, Don Granato, the coach of the player when he was in the USNTDP Under-17 team and was with him in the USNTDP-Under 18 team this season, tells that the player has been imprvoing very well and he is very good when it comes to skating and
the mobility. Granato told that the player’s foundation was very good plus the United States Hockey League (USHL) schedule also helped him as he said,
"His mobility, his skating, he's improved tremendously. The strong foundation] was there, but … to play a USHL schedule was a huge jump."
Next season, Savage will be playing some college hockey for Boston University and it makes him very excited as he loves Boston city and he has a lot of trust in the college. He would be looking forward to the sudies and would also enjoy some hockey as he
said,
"I love Boston as a city, and of course the program at BC is a prestigious program. The academics are there. That's one of my strong values -- I want to go to a good school. I didn't think I could go wrong at BC."
